Here you go Ray, a new target to shoot for. This one will be hard to beat if its certified as the record.
Columbus Dispatch article.
Roger Sizemore, 32, of Orient went trout fishing at Antrim Lake on Wednesday and about 11:30 a.m. latched onto a 30 1/2 -inch saugeye heavy with next year's eggs.
"When I saw it, it almost knocked me over,'' he said.
The fish had the same effect on everybody at R & R Sports Headquarters, where proprietor Bill Wentzel and others in the Columbus shop advised Sizemore he might have a state record on his hands. So Sizemore had the fish weighed on a certified scale at an area Kroger.
The weight: 14.04 pounds. The verdict: If everything shakes out, Sizemore's fish will be a state record.
Brian W. Bang of Galloway holds the current standard with a 12.84-pound saugeye taken Jan. 26, 2002, from Alum Creek Reservoir.
Sizemore said late Wednesday evening that he planned to have a particularly joyous Thanksgiving, even though he wasn't sure he would sleep that night.
Misfit looks like we we're wrong again. We thought that the next state record Bass would come from antrim.... but saugeye... who would of thunk. :rolleyes:
Congrat's to Mr. Sizemore. :D
