Record claims

Within the current result set, documented rod-and-reel weights are preferred, then documented unknown-method weights, then other methods, then found-dead. Length is used only when no weight exists; age only when neither weight nor length exists. Questionable claims appear only if nothing documented remains. Ties prefer the larger value, then exact over approximate/over, then the newer year.
