image of a Rock BassA lot of anglers on Lake Winnibigoshish would throw back a fish like this because they are seeking walleye, but William Young from Waukesha, Wis. recognized a record-sized rock bass when he caught it.

"We know there are some big rock bass in Winnie," said Chris Kavanaugh, Grand Rapids area fisheries supervisor. "But, most rock bass caught by anglers are overlooked because people are fishing for walleye, northern pike, or perch on most lakes."

Young's rock bass is tied for the record. It weighed 2 pounds 0 ounces with a length of 12 5/8 inches and a girth of 12 3/8 inches. Young caught the fish while trolling with a minnow on Aug. 3.
