Anyone Catch a State Record Sport Fish or Even Close!!

I stumbled on to this web page: http://wdfw.wa.gov/cgi-bin/database/fish/fishing_record.cgi#fresh

I thought it might be neat to see how the NWKA Yak Fisher's compare to these records and maybe here a story or two?
I also thought what a great way (as a newbie) to do some research as to where the big ones lurk… I can simply Google Earth these locations, research the fishing times and techniques and give it a try!
Is there one for Oregon?

I miss the warmer waters of SC and stripers.

Just remember that these can be old to really old records. That means that the fisheries have changed a lot over time. Some places are no longer fishable or shut down completely.

HOLY CRAP! Someone caught a 134# striped marlin off Westport!!

Never really been into trying to set any records, though it looks like I could have since there's some species that I've caught for which no record has been established. Pacific tomcod, hake, English sole and sand sole are species that I've caught, which have no record.

For established records, the only ones I've come close are for westslope cutthroat and largescale sucker. I've caught a couple of cutts that I think would have broken the record, but since my local river is CnR, it would be about impossible to prove. I've also seen a picture of a westslope that had a tape showing 28"!

The shad record (3.85 lbs) looks vulnerable, to me.

I know there has been a stripey caught off of Westport in the last 5 year.  A bit out of kayak range though ...

I REALLY wish other states would catch up and keep CPR records like Texas does. Photos with clearly identifiable measure is all you need. They go by length only, and don't deal with weight at all.
