There is an asterisk next to that record because though it was caught by fishing rod and reel it was snagged. See, the guy that caught it was fishing for crappie in the Elk City Reservoir when he saw a huge flathead floating near the top and struggling. So he threw his jig across it's back, snagged it and brought it close enough to shore for him to wade out and bring it in.
He tried selling it to places like Bass Pro but it died so he donated it to the KDWP. They did an autopsy and found that the reason it was struggling is because it was having troubles digesting a 6 lb. carp.
Elk City Reservoir is about 40 miles from my house so I heard all about it.
