Weights and lengths are shown as each list gives them, with units spelled out. Record holders' names are on the linked lists. Where one list shows the same fish under two names, it appears once with both names. A rank such as "#3 of 46 states" places a record among the states' records for that species by weight; it is shown only where the record matches the national ranking exactly.
