Does Colley have the record for actually fishing for the fish?
That listing is old. A few years back some questions arose about David L. Hayes catch and it was delisted for a while and the state record was then from Laurel, but the record was reinstated. The way I understand it was that Hayes was fishing close to the state line and wasn't sure what state he was in, so both Kentucky and Tennessee claim the world record smallie as the state record.
