Super User A-Jay Posted February 28, 2013 Super User Posted February 28, 2013 Little John is confusing the state record requirements with Pa fish & boat commission angler award program summary. Heck for all we know little john could be JZ. There are so many discrepancies in the angler award program summary that it is not worth the paper it is printed on. Anyone can say they caught whatever & it weighed & measured whatever. The really bogus ones have no clue what a given weight should correspond to length & girth measurements. Great program but without verification it is meaningless because of the dishonest people who submit bogus weights & measurements. Yup - That publication has a lot in common with The National Enquirer. A-Jay Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted February 28, 2013 Super User Posted February 28, 2013 If a new record large mouth comes out of PA it could be by speedbead based on the big fish bite he is enjoying on those swim baits. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted February 28, 2013 Super User Posted February 28, 2013 Ya never know. I live about three miles from where the current state record was caught (albeit in 1983). Guess anything's possible though. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted February 28, 2013 Super User Posted February 28, 2013 Thanks for the vote of confidence Dwight. Quote

Super User J Francho Posted February 28, 2013 Super User Posted February 28, 2013 Hello new to this forum, I love fishing for all species of fish, but the bass is my favorite. Large mouth, small mouth, striped bass, sea bass, rock bass, etc. The largemouth record is over 11 pounds, Since 2009 all the bass in the # 1 spot have been between 8 and 10 pounds. So the larger bass do exist. Rare I dont think so because just because know one see's them that much doesn't mean they are not there. Just like those giant deer at Cabellas. I just wanted to say that I have several angler awards in several states and there is no honor system in the PA angler award rules and regs. The 10 pound fish that was 15" mentioned above had to be a type O. Just a few rules and regs to bring some insite; 4. Kept fish must be weighed and measured by fishing license agents, Official Weighing Stations, or tackle stores or authorized employees of the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission. 5. Catch-and-release and First Fish catches must be witnessed. 6. Measurements must be made with a metal ruler or tape measure. Measure from tip of the nose (with closed mouth) to tip of the tail. 7. Photographs. For kept fish: A clear, side-view photograph of the fish IS required UNLESS its species has been verified by an official weighing station or authorized employee of the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission. 10. The Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission reserves the right to investigate the identification, methods used in catching, and the accuracy of measurement and weighing. It also reserves the right to reject any application. I just wanted to say that all info is processed and viewed by a member of the PA Fish & Boat Commission because I have and know people that have been denied. This JZ person must have sent in the proper info to be accepted. As far as JZ goes, I looked at the artilcle the other day in the Wilksborough Leader or something like that along with the PA Fish & Boat Commisiion website it said he spends 30+ days fishing those lakes from sun up to sun down and uses a boat with a fish finder and live bait. I belive that there are big fish out there and if that person spends alot of time on the water and knows were to go and fishes the same lake all the time and know where, when and how to catch these fish, then it is possible for these fish to exist and this person to be telling the truth. Fishing is all about being in the right place at the right time, and having the right knowledge, and tackle to do the very best you can do at that time. I was told a long time ago from one of my Dad's friends that even the most advanced fisherman with the most advanced gear wont catch fish if there is none ther to catch but if they are ther you have to be good enough to fool thm into the strike and have the skill to land them. I feel thats true so I just think JZ was in the right place those days because of experience. One day I should be so lucky!! Good Luck fishing to all! Welcome to the forum, Joseph J. Zajko. Your IP puts you in Philly, and your email is associated with ZBC Contracting. Rather than shill for yourself, why don't you post up some proof of your catches? 10 Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted February 28, 2013 Super User Posted February 28, 2013 I love it. Thanks J. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted February 28, 2013 Super User Posted February 28, 2013 Why was I thinking the lake the state record was caught is now completely dry? The lake is dry but the fish didn't just vanish brotha. Quote

basser89 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 The lake is dry but the fish didn't just vanish brotha. And I believe I know where those fish were placed and I've fished there once. I lost a GOOD one on that outing too. LOL! Quote

Super User A-Jay Posted February 28, 2013 Super User Posted February 28, 2013 Classic - you just never know what each day is going to bring. The Internet does indeed seem to shrink our world considerably. If it were any one of us - we would have registered and posted shots of these fish without being prompted to do so. I hope to see a few photos of these big bass here. And btw - I'd like to make it public knowledge and state that I do like J Franco and never want to be on his bad side. A-Jay Quote
zdunham Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 This has gotten fun. I hope JZ posts some pictures of these beasts! Quote

robdob Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Without a picture there was no fish. Did you guys see the 20 pounder I caught last week? I dont have a picture but trust me it was almost a world record. 20 lbers aren't rare. just cause we don't see them doesn't mean they aren't there, just like those bass at bass pro shops! ahhahahahahahahha Quote
Super User Munkin Posted March 3, 2013 Super User Posted March 3, 2013 I am not sure about some of those weights? Below are the weights of the 5 biggest LM I have caught and either I catch skinny fish or something is off? 24.5" I estimated about 8 even (left the scale in the truck) 23.5" 6-7 23" 6-3 22.5" 6-1 22" 5-9 Allen 1 Quote

J Zajcko or however its spelled is not weighing his fish.. maybe in his mind he is picturing himself weighing fish of that size but not in reality. JZ, if the fish are real show us pics. Quote
Super User deaknh03 Posted March 4, 2013 Super User Posted March 4, 2013 I think I read somewhere that he said he grappled all those fish as well. 2 Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted March 5, 2013 Super User Posted March 5, 2013 I think I read somewhere that he said he grappled all those fish as well. With his feet, in 39 degree water during a blizzard hurricane! The ground was shaking, so there may have been an earthquake but that has yet to be confirmed. The other stuff, completely true. IT WAS EPIC! Quote

Phish Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Here's that article from "the Wilkeborough Leader or something like that" http://www.timesleader.com/article/20130216/news/302169998 Wish these writers would first establish that these not being the biggest fish caught each year, just the "best estimates" reported by random people without requiring jack for proof. I'm sure there were dozens of Erie smallies that could legitimately occupy the top five nearly every year, if anyone cared to report them. Quote
