The 10lb smallmouth bass mark was broke on Lake Erie . It Will happen around here. Its not a question of if it will happen but when it will happen.

Nice fish but a few things here. Did they even have an Ontario license to fish in Ontario waters? Or was it not needed.

Who cares about a “record” no one knows the name of people who have caught record fish unless they look them up. I woulda just had a pic of it on a scale shows the weight release the fish. Lol… also is it an Ontario or world record or both? I don’t think it should be part of OFAH as they went to the Ohio side to weigh it?

Lastly a video that the two anglers showed the son even said it was a big fish and they didn’t want to kill it… I’m sure it won’t last long as a record with the amount of goby’s in Lake O st Lawrence will end up producing a 10 probably shortly.

That's a fish of a lifetime!

My buddy and I were talking about this and...if you caught it, would you forgo the possibility of releasing live and immediately, to have officially weighed?

Although I'd do my best, I gotta say, I think I would do my best but may and just allow the Karen's of the world to chatter.

There are different types of fishers and no matter what, we all do our sport differently but proudly and just hope we share our passions, with education, to the rest of the world. :-)

Yes a tuff call for sure. I no they are out there I seen some this past spring in the early season that wowed me. I think it is a matter of time and not sure myself Paul what I would do. Ideally I would love to release it as long as I could get it verified at say the ramp. Not sure if that’s an option or not but I no I would make the calls to see if I could make it happen. It’s a scenario I’d love to encounter! Lol

Welps if it was me that fish is making the run to official scales and figure out the rest after that. Around here you could run to the mnr at glenora ferry as long as you caught it during business hours :lol:

I would keep and get weight official. Probably mounted, no shortage of smb the population will be fine with one less.
