*Not the latest version, but the only one i could find. Post up If you can or have beat one of the records on here*

Lets get a record book going for BFC. i know the BAA has one, but it seems lots of them have been beaten and gone unregistered. So here we go. i will keep the list updated.
Ground rules are not as strict as other record books and any fish submitted may be commented on by other members if it is in dispute. A Pic with some for of scale (bow, arrow, ruler fish scale, ect.) in it is required as well as a witness and a reliable scale. this is mostly for fun and bragging rights so keep it honest. if you beat a record fish, post it up. ok guys, here we go.

Me an jesses black drum went 40 after being 12 hrs outa the water an dried out in the sun for 6 hrs so to be safe we will say like 47?? I personally think it went closer to 50+ but for arguements sake I will call it 47 lol. I got a pic as well, I will post along with the location. Just list it as the both of us lol bc we shot at the same time an hit it at the same time.

Gizzard Shad, can't remember the exact size, just freaky big for a gizzard shad. It was something like 13-15" long. I attempted to enter it into the Georgia record, only to find out they do not document gizzard shad records in Georgia.

Is this thread still active? So in this list it shows "sucker" as being open. I'm trying to find out what sucker that is. And the 10 lb. "redhorse" in the pic looks like a shorthead redhorse. There is a redhorse sucker, shorthead redhorse, and silver redhorse on Indiana's fish list. I have a thread called Indiana Sucker ID on here if anyone knows the answers.
