What's neat about it too is the bass was turned over to the local Bass Pro Shop store and alive (at the time the article was written anyway - follow posted link to read article)

This article appeared in late Jan this year on ESPN. Talk about a crazy time of the year to get a largemouth state record...after breaking ice with the boat!
