There are a bunch of written records...but no photos. I don't believe them. I also don't think Mr. Church's fish was 73, it was a great fish but it does not look like a 73.
There was a written record in the fulton fish market (ny) that had a 100# bass...gutted without the head! (est weight was 125)Also several in Long Island Sound in the late 1800's were records that had them to something like 98#s...again, no photos back then.

I want to see the fish and the measurements before I (really) believe it.
