The "official" record is still 140mm, from Nain, Labrador. However, the
folks there assure me they come considerably larger. I was only out on
the water for one day's worth of fishing, so it is highly unlikely i
acquired anything terribly exeptional, size-wise. My best guess would
be about 170+mm for maximum size from this locality, with larger
specimens to be found further north.
