465.0. "NEW STATE RECORD" by COLORS::BEAUDREAU () Tue Sep 01 1987 13:53

    
    A new Rhode Island state record was caught recently in Pascoag 
    Reservoir....... a 2 lb. 1 oz. BLUEGILL measuring 12 inches in
    length with a 13 in. girth.  
    
    This catch bettered the old record of 1 lb. 3 oz.  The world
    record bluegill as listed in the National Freshwater Fishing Hall
    of Fame weighs 4 lbs. 12 oz. which had a length of 15 in. with
    a girth of 18 1/2 inches.  (caught by T.S. Hudson out of Kenton
    Lake in Alabama on April 9, 1950).
    
    Cris Rizzo a local resident landed the prize bluegill in a 4 ft
    ultralight with 4# test.  I know this isn't that impressive for
    all you Bass-aholics, but any fresh water state record is always
    worth sharing with fellow fisherman.
    
    Another local recent catch worth mentioning was an 8 lb. 3 oz.
    largemouth measuring 24 1/2 inches in length with an 18 in. girth
    taken from Lakafish Lake in Northern RI by Lance Grassi of Woonsocket.
    Lance said he recently released a couple of 7 pounders so they could
    reach bigger proportions in HIS honeyhole.
    
    Recent reports from down hear indicate that BASSIN' is pickup after
    the recent cold spell.                    
    
    Good luck guys

	Gee, I thought a note on a record setting Bluegill would get some reaction from you kivver catchin' basser's flamming each other in note 424. I guess I'll have too wait till after you guys get emBarrASSed when you get shut-out on Sept 19, and then get back to reality. The Harbor Master

	Does anyone know what the Vt, Nh, or Me state records are?? I'd be interesting to compare... Some of the Mass freshwater records appear as though they may be larger than our's here in Vt; I think the Brown, Brookie, and Pike records are larger????
