I was chasing that record for a whie, too. One fish missed by .03 pounds. If I had moved faster to get to a certified scale I might have been briefly listed in the record books. This new record is more likely to be broken by luck than by actively trying to catch a 2 pound yellow.
When I was in the country of Norway years ago during the Olympics I was amazed at the large Fiberglass Yellow perch that hung along one wall in the ice skating arena probably close to 30' in length
Who do you contact if you want to enter a fish as state record?
