Mainebass1984 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 A possible world record spotted bass weighing in at 10.48 lbs was recently weighed in at a pro/am tourney in California. Caught on a wacky rigged senko. 2 Quote
Wbeadlescomb Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 There's no doubt it's huge but it doesn't look 10 1/2 to me Quote
senko_77 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 BEAUTIFUL Spotted Bass but I gotta go with Wbeadle on this one....looking like an 8 to me. But on the flip side, pictures can be deceiving. And on a wacky rigged senko! That is what's up! I'm assuming he was using light line. I'm sure that was an unreal battle. Quote
gripnrip Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Pictures can be deceiving. If the fish was weighed, I can believe the picture. On another thread, 00mod had a guess the weight of a fish in one of his pictures. The fish IMO looked over 10 pounds. It wound up being 7-15. Just my 2 cents. Quote

Brian Needham Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 he let the fish go which is awesome....... but do they not do DNA testing/ scale testing on spots to certify? Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted March 12, 2014 Super User Posted March 12, 2014 Thanks Turds for that link it was a good read Quote
basshole8190 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Saw this earlier this morning. that's a boss spot. glad it was released Quote
McAlpine Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Wow, what a beautiful fish! I wonder if it will actually be a record? From what I have heard the only way to really get a fish registered it ends up dying. Awesome that he let it go, sad if it can't be registered as a record becuase it was let go. 1 Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted March 12, 2014 Super User Posted March 12, 2014 Yes that is quite a fish.... Maybe a rainbow colored senko? Quote
Brian Needham Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Yes that is quite a fish.... Maybe a rainbow colored senko? article said GP with gold and purple flake Quote
