The smallmouth bass record for Wilson Lake and Wheeler tailwaters is ten-pounds, 8-ounces. And the largemouth bass record for Wilson Lake is 11-pounds, 2-ounces. We are still looking to certify lake record spotted bass (4-pound minimum). We also have an angler recognition program for other sport fish.
