Louisiana Freshwater Fishing Records
The first and 10th places in the State Freshwater Top 10 Fish Records in Rod-and-Reel, Fly Rod and Pond divisions. In some cases, newer categories do not have all 10 places filled. Categories where there are less than 10 entries have only the state-record fish listed. Records updated Sept. 18, 2007. Listed are the ranking, the weight of the fish in pounds, the angler and the month and year the fish was caught.
