Big, Ugly Record Fish
Everyone loves looking at big fish, truly oversize, gut-swollen monsters. And when they’re just a little on the unsightly side, well, they take on a much more ominous character.
 The following girth-challenged fish are all notable world records compiled by the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame in Hayward, Wisconsin (freshwater-fishing.org).
David Tilton caught this massive 73-pound, 1-ounce gargantuan bigmouth buffalo in late March, 2004 while fishing Lake Koshkonog in Southern Wisconsin. Tilton caught the huge fish using only 8-pound test line, but it’s also the largest of the species on record. Thus Tilton holds the 8-pound test and the all-tackle divisions.

I'll take big fish of any species.

WE HAVE THEM IN ARKANSAS BUT WE DONT USALLY EAT THEM CAUSE THEY ARE SO BONEY BUT I HEARD THEY ARE GOOD
Yeah, that pallid sturgeon is "unusual" because they've been on the endangered species list since 1990. I see that picture's from 1984, but I hope if anyone lands one they release it. Outdoor Life's editors should have pointed that out.
