This is what I think is dumb:
“Powell’s fish isn’t the biggest Texas bass ever caught by a lady angler, but it is the biggest ever turned over to the International Game Fish Association for consideration as a women’s 12-pound line class world record. The application is currently under review by the International Game Fish Association's records committee is pending approval, according to Zach Bellapigna, the organization’s angler recognition coordinator.”
Is It really a record if everyone actually knows bigger fish have been caught, even in her own female Angler class? I say no.
There’s a guy on another forum I’m on that has a ton of state and world “records”….on obscure things like handlining a small tilapia and other stupid stuff like that. Not even big fish but it’s “records” people don’t even know exist so he has them by default. Wow. Cool. Lol
