SMALLMOUTH BASS / STATE RECORD / FISH / FISHING: Just eight days after the state’s largemouth bass record was broken for the first time in 13 years, a new state record smallmouth bass was caught Saturday at Lake Lawtonka in southwest Oklahoma. Ryan Wasser of Pocasset caught the 8-pound, 7-ounce bronzeback around 11:30 a.m. on a shaky head rig. The fish was 23 1/8-inches long and had a girth of 18 inches. Oklahoma’s previous state record smallmouth was caught on March 4, 2006 at Lake Eufaula by Steve McLarty of Broken Arrow. That fish weighed 8 pounds, 3 ounces.
