Outdoor Life better do so more research. 125 is the what they ( there were two in the same seine) estimated to have weighed before they were gutted. The 112 is the gutted weight. Also, a Francis Miner caught and weighed an 89 pounder on Block Island in the 1800's but the documentation was lost. He caught it on a rod and reel.
The block island bass is the one that is the print of the man and the striper but the striper has no stripes, right?
125# in a seine net is what I read. Billy the Greek in his book says that there was a bass caught on rod and reel on LI, at Fulton fish market in the 70s that was 1 to the box. A box weighs 100 lbs

See my display at the MSBA show. I have a picture of an 82 pounder caught by a commercial rod and reeler and sold to Fulton that MSBA bought and had shipped to the Old Sportsman Show in Boston where they kept it on ice.
