Your State record for Idaho needs to be updated.
Dan Steigers of Juliaetta caught a 9.72 pound Smallmouth Bass in Idaho’s Dworshak Reservoir on October 28. This fish is the new Idaho State Record. Steigers also held the previous Idaho state record Smallmouth at 8.31 pounds, caught in Dworshak Reservoir on October 14, 1995.
