bassmasta7 Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 At first i didnt believe them. But with the pic i am now a believer. Quote
CJ Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 It is a shame that it was foul hooked.What a pig! Quote
playmaker47 Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 OH MY GOODNESS!!! That is a huge fish! It could probably eat my dog!!! Quote
Valascus Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 Good Lord!!! That thing is a BEHEMOTH!!! I could definately see how that beast is a world record fish. I still don't think that the IGFA is going to certify it as the new world record. What a shame... But on the upside...it is proof that there are fish out there that can dethrone the current WR. Gives us all something to dream about and shoot for. Great news for the sport. Quote
Super User KU_Bassmaster. Posted March 21, 2006 Super User Posted March 21, 2006 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" Quote
mike22 Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 Oh man, that things a pig!!! Even if it isn't recognized as the WR, it shows you its only a matter of time before someone breaks the record. Quote
Super User 5bass Posted March 21, 2006 Author Super User Posted March 21, 2006 I think Mattlures put it well on that other thread: "It's not going to certify, but it's still the biggest bass ever caught" Well,I dont know.....it does look like his arm is extended toward the camera a little bit.Could actually be smaller than it looks. ;D NOT!......that thing is BIGGER THAN BIG! Too bad the dude couldnt have hooked,certified and measured it correctly.I want Perry's record broken. Quote
Valascus Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 How old do you all think that fish is? For a fish to get that large it has to be pretty darn old...for a Lm Bass anyway. What do you all think the measurements of that beast are? What are everyone's best guesses? Quote
Valascus Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 The military grade Hummer of fish! ;D I bet that thing has a HEMI. ;D Quote
Topwater_Popper Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 THAT THING IS GYNORMOUS! (a word only in the fisherman's vocabulary that is used to describe something when there is no other word to describe it. Even if it is not the certified world record, it is in my book. Lake Dixon, here I come Quote
Valascus Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 Yeah...you and about every bass fisherman in world. Quote
bassmasta7 Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 I cant wait for this story to fully develop so we can hear everything that happened!!!! Quote
earthworm77 Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 Where are the Georgia boys now???? i think this fish will be recognized provided it was certified. I wonder why Mac said he foul hooked it because that seems to be a big factor in this fish actually becoming a record. Either way, at least we have a photo of this slob. Quote
Hula Popper Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 That is the most beautiful fish I have ever seen. Quote

From what an eyewitness said,there were a few people around them that saw that he had foul hooked it.......could be why he 'fessed up and said something,could just be an honest guy......who knows.Who cares?What a fish!And if his scales were "ON",it went 25 even on them.

Super User KU_Bassmaster. Posted March 21, 2006 Super User Posted March 21, 2006 That is the most beautiful fish I have ever seen. Actually I think it's quite ugly!!!! ;D ;D Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted March 21, 2006 Super User Posted March 21, 2006 All kidding aside, that girl is huge........but man BIG bass sure are not as elegent looking as a big pike or muskie, it look like it ate a basket ball. But I sure would have liked to have caught it ;D Quote
Brian_Reeves Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 Do you know how incredibly lazy a bass that size would be? You'd probably get more fight out of a 12pounder but not nearly the prestige. Good catch dude...whoever you are. Brian -Ain't Texans- Quote
bassmasta7 Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 That fish is equivalent to a 1000lb human. Quote
