Title:Fishing records for Alabama.
CommentsThe original document states that the record fish was caught in boar creek. However, this location could not be found, and when looking at the state records online, the record location was displayed as Bear Creek. The specimen was verified to be the same as it had matching species, weight, and date of capture.
