I had no idea that would constitute anything near a record size catch, or didn't even know they kept records for junk fish.

There's quite a few lakes where a 5lber is not uncommon. Even the kids off the dock were catching some pretty huge pikeminnows probably 4-5 lbs all day long while we sat and watched them.
Just did some googling. Wikipedia say 7 Lbs 14 ozs out of the Snake River. This says 14 Lbs out of Okanagan Lake. http://www.recordfishcanada.com/nort...ikeminnow.html
