Actually, I believe the Maryland DNR caught it in a net when they were seining for tagging purposes, but couldn't revive it. As big as that fish is, bass once got even bigger. Bigelow's "Fishes of the Gulf of Maine", as authoritative source as there is, reports "...definite record being several of about 125lbs....taken at Edenton,N.C. in April 1891. One of 112 lbs caught at Orleans, Mass, many years ago. One of 100 1/2 lbs said to be have been taken in Casco Bay, Maine.." . Slim likelihood of any fish getting that big in this day and age without some major attitude adjustment by all of us who fish for them.
