In this episode of The Big Bass Podcast, we look at the North Dakota state record largemouth bass: the smallest state record largemouth in all 49 states that have bass.

This story starts in 1953 with the first recognized North Dakota record, a 7-pound, 12-ounce, bass taken from Welk Dam. Nearly 30 years later, an angler by the name of Leon Rixen breaks the record with an 8-pound, 1.5-ounce bass, only to break it again 50 days later! It's a pretty cool story for those of you who are big bass junkies!
