Previous state records

[ikeslayer]

hey i know the previous state record was on Tetonka lake and was like 8-14 but how about the ones before that? anybody know where the list is out there? or just post them up - would be interesting to see where they came from as well as how big the jumps were in weight.

The record before tetonka was out of fountain lake (albert lea area). I think it was 3 ounces lighter, but don't know for sure.

Maybe one could contact the DNR with this question. It would be interesting to see. If I remember correctly, prior to 1981(?) the record was in the 9 or 10# range. At that time the state removed many records that they didn't have proper proof of. I would like to see those old records as well.
