A huge redear was caught at Lake Havasu, it will be a contender for a world record.

Right now, it's a semi-official Arizona state record for the Colorado River. This huge redear (they feed on quagga mussels) tipped the scales at 5.55 pounds and was 16.75 inches long with a 19-inch girth. It was caught by Robert Lawler of Lake Havasu City on May 2 using a Texas-rigged 7-inch Power Worm.

Talk about plate-sized panfish -- this was more like a platter-sized one. The existing state record redear was caught Feb. 16, 2010 at Lake Havasu by a California angler and it weighed 4 pounds 2.24 ounces and was 15.5 inches long.
