Records for the largest fish caught by hook and line are maintained by the Commission's Saltwater Tournament Office.  Each year they print a summary of the records as of December 31 of that year.  The online version of that list for 2005 can be found at the following web link:

During the course of the year the Tournament Office provides a weekly summary of largest fish caught that have been registered by the Tournament Office.  This leading entries report will show any new state records that have been set. The report is posted weekly at the following web link.
