NICE!!!!

That's understandable... I made the same "mistake". That record is overlooked. Be sure to keep next time.

all i have to show for it is the pictures. the weight is just an estimate by feel from my dad and i. and the length is still marked on my old tackle box in the basement because i had nothing to measure it with at the time so i flopped in on the box and marked it with a sharpie. it was a little over 14. i wish i had kept the fish now. but i dont eat them so i figured i should toss it back for someone else to catch. guess i should check that website out so this wont happen again. bummer for me. would have been cool to have my name in the record books haha

FYI... the NH state record for rock bass is 13.50" 1 lb. 8 oz. See http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/Fishing/NH_state_record_fish.htm

If your measures are accurate, that's a new state record. You should check it in if you can prove it. Good luck.

In any event, that's a nice fish.

looks like a bass/crappie mix. cool fish !!

wow that thang looks almost like a crappie!
