Pond-Pro Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 There is now a picture of whats supposedley Perry's bass! It was in my bassmaster that I got today. I can't seem to find a pic to post yet, But it definetley looks 20lbs+. Quote
cpvenom Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 Are you sure you arent thining of Mac Weakleys 25 pounder that he caught in march? that was in the new bassmaster but there are no pictures of George Perry's bass. Quote
basser89 Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 Hold on! How the heck did you guys get your June bassmaster already??? :-? Must be nice! LOL! I probably won't see mine for another week. Did I win any thing in the June one? hahaha! Quote
Super User KU_Bassmaster. Posted May 24, 2006 Super User Posted May 24, 2006 Yes I saw it as well. Looks pretty convincing. Quote
ball_coach_1 Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 Yes, the pic is in the June issue, got it yesterday. Agree with KU, the picture is convincing, and it would end any arguement it was a striper. Quote
Super User senile1 Posted May 24, 2006 Super User Posted May 24, 2006 I usually have my next month's issue by this time. If you guys just received yours in the last couple of days, maybe I'll be seeing mine soon. Quote
Captain Cali Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 So...75 years for the photo to surface? Gee...I wonder why it surfaced in the age of computers and PHOTOSHOP! : ;D If this photo surfaced in the 50's,60's,70's or even 80's...I'd buy it. But this is 2006. My 16 year old brother can probably chop a photo to make it look like I caught a 22 pounder also. By the way...I have not seen the photo yet. But I'm skeptical even without seeing it. 75 years to release a photo that is in such demand? Like I asked...what bass?? Quote
Hookem Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 If its the photo I'm thinking of, it is a photo of the replica mount. There isn't a pic of the actual bass. Quote
RBR Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 You are right hook em, its a replica pic, the other one in Lake Dixon is real also, they said the guy Weakley offered a 1,000 dollars to the guy fishing it for 11 hours on the nest. Quote

Super User dodgeguy Posted May 24, 2006 Super User Posted May 24, 2006 AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED WEAKLY HOLDS THE RECORD. ;D Quote
Guest bigtex Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 I hope we don't go threw this again. This horse has been beaten to death already. She can't handle any more abuse. LOL Quote
Captain Cali Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 Until the IGFA gets it right...this dead horse will continue to be beaten to a bloody pulp. But...I'll take the high road on this one. I have already ranted enough about it. :-X Quote
Super User KU_Bassmaster. Posted May 24, 2006 Super User Posted May 24, 2006 No it's not the pic of the replica. It's a pic of Perry with a little boy in his diapers holding the bass, supposedly outside the post office. Before I could not believe the record at all. There was tons of doubt in my mind. "They" said there was a pic, but it couldn't be found. Now it is found. Now I can believe the record with a little more certainty. 100% ...... far from it. But I guess I can believe it more than I can doubt it. Like Capt. Cali said though ... Why now?? And in this day in age ..... Photoshop is always a possiblity. Like for instance, I photoshop all my bass I put on here to make them SMALLER so they will fit in the camera. ;D ;D Do I personally think it's photoshopped ... No. Quote
flyphisher # Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 They think it was one of Perry's relatives holding the fish in the pic that was found after an old relative died. The tree has palm trees in the background that are still where the pic was taken.......I Believe!!!!!!! ;D Quote
langs15 Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 I photoshop all my bass I put on here to make them SMALLER so they will fit in the camera. ;D ;D Didn't anyone teach you not to lie?! We all know you make them MUCH LARGER!! hha ;D Someone have a link to the picture of it...please Quote
Super User RoLo Posted May 24, 2006 Super User Posted May 24, 2006 Like for instance, I photoshop all my bass I put on here to make them SMALLER so they will fit in the camera. YOU TOO! I also shrink my bass so everyone will believe I really caught them. And also because I don't want everyone fishing in my favorite lake. Yah that's it, that's the reason I shrink my bass (Those are a couple of 8 pounders in the avatar) Roger Quote

I don't know if you remember my previous one ...... she was 21 lbs even and a new TX record when I was down there. I knew nobody would believe that so I shrunk her down to half that size ;D Quote
Guest avid Posted May 25, 2006 Posted May 25, 2006 Well, I took a look at the photo and read the article. I gotta tell ya, it's pretty convincing. It would take a heck of a photoshop wiz to have created that photo. The article documents a link between the family of the woman who had the pic. and the perry family, pluse identification of the location where the photo was taken. There is enough room for doubt though to keep the nay sayers happy. But it looks like the real deal to me. Quote
