I read the article shortly after the catch and the angler said he was fishing Lake Ontario side of Chaumont Bay, near the Isthmus, not the river.

I read a similar article the day after the catch, saying the river. Including a picture with what looked like Carlton Is in the article.

We know one thing:  it was NOT caught near Ogdensburg but it was released there.  Saying it was caught there was an attempt to bring even more bass fishermen to that area, which is fine with me.  I am tired of seeing them around the Cape Vincent area.

The original article said the tournament was in Ogdensburg and that he ran the river to the CV area to fish, then returned to Ogdensburg for the weigh in.
