They are about to show the video of the Possible WR bass!!!!!!!!!!!

Madhouse, you and I sound a lot alike ...lol. I agonize over purchases and one of the first places I go to see how far I can stretch my dollar is Ebay. I hardly ever buy anything off there, but look at prices of things quite often.

http://www.fieldandstream.com/fieldstream/fishing/article/0,13199,1175441,00.html# Here's the link to the article. This by far gives the most info out of anything we have seen yet. The story is starting to become clearer. We also have to consider the source here though. I am glad their are names to the witnesses though. Most of the time it is a nameless source.

Watch the video on Sportscenter tonight. They have the video of the fish on the scale and the scale reads 25 something.

A new 2006 runs around $22K. (plus dealer prep, shippoing and sales tax, an additional $2600 altogether) Not set on aluminum, but for the money I don't know what quality I could get in fiberglass. Not set on brand new, would consider a good used one. If I were you and are willing to spend that kind of dough on a boat, I would get a used 2 or 3 year old 19 to 20 ft. Fiberglass that has all the bells and whistles you could ever want.

What make and model 18 foot fiberglass would you advise for the money? Stratos ..... the best bang for your buck out there!!!!

LBH, read up above. I updated it.

You can watch them online here: http://www.lunkerville.com/ltv.html I've watched just about all of them. It's a pretty cool idea for a show At one point or another they have all said they were on the show on this board. That's how I found out about them "NYPD Bass" is earthworm77 "Georgia on My Mind" is Randall "Dodgeguy drives Hyundai" is dodgeguy

Oh yeah, and HawgHunter's local news station did a story on him.

We have two other celebs on here that I know of ..... Randall and dodgeguy. Both of them on the same show.

What a great story and a stand up guy!!!

The next Sportscenter is on here at 10:00 pm central. The short video was at the very end of the show.

What would it cost to get a brand new '06 model? I would compare it to that. Are you set on an aluminum boat? Are you set on brand new?

Did anybody just see that on Sportscenter. They had the video of the guy weighing the bass on the scale!!! And the video does the fish way more justice than that pic. What a beast!!!!!!!!! They said they had their crew on it and there will be more tonight.

The old record has tons of controversy, why not the NEW one!!!! ;D Although the new one would have much less to do with the fish and more with the technicalities of how it was caught.

I think I read somewhere that this particular bass has a distinct black spot under one of it's gills.

I have a two man boat like that and there is NO way I would get an 8 ft. for two people. It would be alright for 1, but I have a 11 ft and it's about as small as I would go for 2 people. Maybe 10.

Hold the horses!!!! Instead of patiently waiting for a good deal on a Jon, go out and actively look for one. What I mean is drive around the neighborhood(s) and look for people with Jons in their backyard that looks like they haven't been used in ages. If you have any lake communities in your area, even better. I was pretty picky and wanted something 14+ ft, but I found a couple 12's that I could have bought for $150 or so and a 10 ft I could have got for around $100 by doing this. LBH I believed left notes on people doors that were on his UPS route.

Welcome Back!!!!!

Actually I think it's quite ugly!!!! ;D ;D

I think Mattlures put it well on that other thread: "It's probably not going to be recognized, but it's still the biggest bass ever caught"

:oWOW!!!! :o

There's only two bass I would keep ..... the WR and a state record. I would keep the World Record alive if at all possible and find somewhere that would take it in and had a big enough tank so that paople could go look at it.It would be interesting to see how big it could actually get before kicking the bucket. Yes that would probably be better, but when it does kick the bucket .... it's going up on my wall.

Can't we just get a WR without the controversy. There's already tons of controversy stirring about this thing and it hasn't even been approved yet.
