Wow, what a hawg.

The fish is now the Maryland state record, but I wonder if it was actually caught in Maryland.  There's only a couple hundred yards of Md. water above the Wilson Bridge before you are in DC.  Many a fisherman has been cited for failure to have a DC license should they wander a little too far north.  He may have caught it in DC and recorded it in Maryland, or not even known he was in DC.

I couldn't even find a list of DC records, they may not keep any.
