Massachusetts
State record: 15 pounds 8 ounces, Walter Bolonis, 1975, Sampson’s Pond
Best water: Quabbin Reservoir. “It’s 28,000 acres, and some huge bass come out of it. We were sampling with gill nets, and there were some real big fish—especially in northern end of the reservoir.”—Todd Richards, Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife
