11lb 9oz. I caught it back in the 70's when I was a teenager fishing on Arkabutla Lake in Mississippi during spring with my father using a Balsa Wood Tennessee Shad.
There's actually a quite funny story behind this fish as my dad tried several times to take my rod from me because he kept saying I was "Hawgin" it and was going to loose it, but I wouldn't let him take my rod. LOL.
I finally got it to the boat and netted it. We weighed it and let it go. No camera's like today so no pic, ya just have to take my word for it.[:/]
