It looks like it beat the previous 1998 world record by an ounce or 2.  It sounds there will still be fishing if Zebra mussels infest our lakes.

Qouted, "Amos M. Gay and his new all-tackle world record redear sunfish (shellcracker) from Santee Cooper Diversional Canal, caught in August, 1998.  The fish weighed 5 lbs. 7.5 ozs. and topped another fish from the same fishing hole by 3.5 ozs.  The fishing hole where Gay caught this fish has produced at least three redear over 5 lbs.  It is located where the canal meets Lake Moultrie.  The area was intensively sprayed to remove vegetation, and the resulting bare bottom became the perfect home for an unnamed species of Asiatic shellfish.  The shellfish are, of course, dinner for shellcrackers, and redear feeding in this area experience phenomenal growth and weight gain.  If the shellfish are the infamous zebra mussels, redear appear to offer a perfect solution to control.  Reduced zebra mussel expansion and big redear in one package!"
