Jeffery, the 5 lber wasn't caught with rod and reel, it was caught by hand when draining a pond. Still an impressive creature, for sure, but doesn't qualify for the record.

....and also, I've failed to mention that this incredible mount was produced by Big Bluegill member and expert taxidermist Cecil Baird.

....and 15.5 inches long! I've only received pictures of this fish, but will actually get to hold the replica in my hands in the next few days. If you're interested I'll post a few more angles.
