Okay guys, here is some interesting stuff about the number of fish over 200lbs caught in Louisiana. The guy that gave this to me says its not up to date completely and when he updates it he'll give me the additional info. It's missing a handful of fish from recent years. Cool info though! I'll try and post the list this way first then in a more readable format.

Good stats, curious about the *caught on spoon notation.

**Unbound** · #4 10-16-2005, 05:30 AM

Mr Todd has put up some impressive numbers. Any guesses of how many 200lbers were released in that period.

They use to troll spoons in the days before coon pops. Big old Pet Spoons. They caught lots and lots of sharks and jacks that way too. That is why the coon pop is preferred now. Fewer incidentals.
