Randall Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 Move over Mike Long we may have a new king of trophy bass fishing. Georgia Outdoor News reported this month that a Georgia fishermen and lure maker had broken two lake records and caught two teen fish in a week. The article got me excited when I first heard of it. It had to be true since the fish was weighed on a certified scale and GON was making a full page article about it. Saw the article and something wasn't just right. The photos just didn't look that big. I wasn't going to call the guy a liar but then someone found his MySpace page and sent it to me. Look at the Video here of him releasing the 14lb fish. http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...deoid=45195538 Here is a photo of the 16lb fish. His MySpace page is an advertisement for his homemade bait. Wonder if his two lake records will stand and he will be left on the GA biggest bass of all time list. : Make me wonder how many fish are listed on lists of this type that are not even close but because there was a witness and a certified scale they were put down.

Super User fourbizz Posted November 9, 2008 Super User Posted November 9, 2008 I hate stuff like this. It cheapens catches like your 15 by making them seem easier. Doesnt look 14 to me, but the link for myspace didnt work.
Super User fourbizz Posted November 9, 2008 Super User Posted November 9, 2008 WHAT A CROCK OF HORSE SHAT! His "16.2" is a little over 27" long. My 13-1 which was a freaking football was 27" and his "16.2" is a thin fish, i caught a 27" fish that was skinny and weighed less than 10. There is no way that fish weighs 16. I would imagine he dropped a couple rocks in there.
Super User Grey Wolf Posted November 9, 2008 Super User Posted November 9, 2008 Looks like a bunch of to me.
Randall Posted November 9, 2008 Author Posted November 9, 2008 His fish is not that long. Look at the mouth of the fish and its open and not at the end of the tape. 24-25 at the most.
Super User fourbizz Posted November 9, 2008 Super User Posted November 9, 2008 look in his myspace photos, they've got it taped also the "14" is listed at 24X18. what a crock!
Super User fourbizz Posted November 9, 2008 Super User Posted November 9, 2008 oops now i see what you are saying.
Super User senile1 Posted November 9, 2008 Super User Posted November 9, 2008 I don't know how long the fish are but they are definitely way short on girth. I hope the truth comes out. I honestly don't see how these claims can survive scrutiny.
Masshole Mike Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 I can smell that BS all the way up here in MA.... :-?
Super User Tin Posted November 9, 2008 Super User Posted November 9, 2008 His fish catching almost maked up for his need for Hooked on Phonics, I can no read a his myspace page. And he is either full of it and knew what he was doing, or was too stupid to realize the truth. This just ticks me off. Where are the photoshop guys?
Super User Muddy Posted November 9, 2008 Super User Posted November 9, 2008 There is 4 inches missing from the middle of that tape measure
Super User Dan: Posted November 9, 2008 Super User Posted November 9, 2008 yeah, looks like some exaggeration going on
mattm Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 Whatever. The guy is a tool. I have a policy of never ?ing when someone says they weighed their fish, but i've never seen anyone double what the fish actually weighed. I'm recinding that policy.
Randall Posted November 9, 2008 Author Posted November 9, 2008 He has decided to take most of the photos off of his myspace page now that he has been exposed. Guess I ticked him off.
Super User fourbizz Posted November 9, 2008 Super User Posted November 9, 2008 Oh Randall, you big meanie!!! mattm, LMAO!
Super User Muddy Posted November 9, 2008 Super User Posted November 9, 2008 And you started off your thread so serious, I am feeling some kinda way now
Super User Tin Posted November 10, 2008 Super User Posted November 10, 2008 ROFLMAO!!!! "Raymond is tired of stupid people" This is too funny. In his profile pic, if that fish is 16 pounds, then his nipples are HUGE!
FR0G Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 If thats a 14lb, then my I must have caught alot of 20 pounders! haha.
Randall Posted November 10, 2008 Author Posted November 10, 2008 He has set his page now to private and sent me a few messages. He seems a little ticked off. Here is the photo that was published so you all can see it since you can't access his page anymore.
FR0G Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 look in his myspace photos, they've got it taped also the "14" is listed at 24X18. what a crock! 25x18 only comes out to be a 9.3 lber with the formula.
Branuss04 Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 I'm probably one of the reasons his profile is set to private. He tried adding me on myspace and I tore him a new one after looking at his pics. The pic of him with the fish on the table and his two fists in it's mouth killed me. It's "Snapper G" visits Myspace.*****
Super User fourbizz Posted November 10, 2008 Super User Posted November 10, 2008 Yeah and the BR calculator is pretty high by every known fish i have ever put in. My 27 X 22 fish that went 13lbs-1oz comes out at 15.72lbs I need to stop using a scale!LOL
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted November 10, 2008 BassResource.com Administrator Posted November 10, 2008 ya, it looks suspect to me too. A few pictures NEVER pass muster when it comes to "records". This is why you REALLY need to dot your I's and cross your T's when it comes to breaking records. If there's any way to cast doubts, it will be made. Video of the catch and weighing it are a must. Here's more suggestions: http://www.bassresource.com/fishing/certify.html
