I only weigh the extra big ones. 72# is my personal best. It was caught under the ice. That was almost 30 years ago. I’ve caught multiple others at 68 and 69#. Only broke 70# that one time though…it was a hog!

78# we shot in the creek while trying to trap nutria when I was in high school

Scales were not certified but they were not grossly off either

70 pounds and a couple ounces. It was an ADC job and in a Hancock live trap in August. I was wearing chest waders and had to drag it a couple hundred yards to my car. I swear it weighed much more than that. The university of MN was doing a parasite study so they got it. And the city stopped losing landscape trees.

I fell on the floor laughing just now. I mumbled to myself "that's a sizeable beaver" and my wife was standing in the kitchen next to me, and she said "what did you just call me?" I'm dying lol
