State records are one in a million fish. Tournament winners are one in a few hundred. The top ten in a tournament are the top ten from a few hundred or perhaps a few thousand.
Annual tournament top tens are much more useful for studying year to year changes in the larger fish available a single estuaries where the tournament held. State records are more of a glimpse at the biggest fish in the best waters in the best year ever in a state.
