Randall Posted November 10, 2008 Author Posted November 10, 2008 This is his reply to me. well since you know everything there is about bass fishing, i guess George Perry did not catch the world record bass in a beaver pond either did he, and i never said it was caught in the back of a creek channel i said off of sandy beach and the other at yellow jacket shoals, i will not give the dead direct spot out, that is my secert and i will go back and catch bigger fish, and i will call you to come verify it, if that makes you happier bassmaster sir. sorry you feel the way that you do, but pictures shows different things, i have already received a call form John Fox he has seen all measurement and photos and he says its larger than i reported, he contacted me about the fish. he is making the replicas for me so he has seen every single picture way more than you have been able to steal, and there were caught on a plug i designed and produced. i am not mad at you i know what i have done. i have many witnesses and photos and gon did call all of my witnesses and the people that weighed it and verified my story before it was printed. thank you and if you have anything else to say why don't you contact me yourself on myspace, i know you know how to find it. watch it slander is against the law, since you know so much about the law too. and by the way its not illegal to put the fish in a private pond as long as it is caught legally. I have told the DNR, and GON, the local newspaper and john fox, that i released the fish into a private pond, and it is legal. what is your beef with me and my fish, jealously or what? Who is John Fox? I found a guide named John Fox that claims to have caught numerous fish in the upper teens. Like 18 and 19 lbs. Anybody know him?

SDoolittle Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Regardless of the size, I have a hard time believing that fish lived to be released in a pond. That picture looks like it was taken in a bathroom. Was he keeping it alive in the tub? I tried that once when I was a kid and the fish went belly up pretty quick.
Super User Muddy Posted November 10, 2008 Super User Posted November 10, 2008 Ignore this mook, he already has been given too much play. I guess that fish did not like hagin out in the toliet bowl! I am sure Captin John Fox , from Florida , dispatched a verification team the minute this guy called him, Hey RW, Where's Irene
daviscw Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 What? A dishonest fisherman? Who would have thought.....

Who is John Fox? I found a guide named John Fox that claims to have caught numerous fish in the upper teens. Like 18 and 19 lbs. Anybody know him? I have met John Fox on many occasions fishing the Stick Marsh and Private Pitts and I have seen some of the Big Bass he and his clients have caught and released. I don't know his life history but I have always found him to be truthful in what he has told me. I'm not saying that his mouth is a prayer book but I have seen while fishing on the Marsh some of the big fish he has pulled in. I have also seen some George Welcome has pulled in also. How about some input George.
Super User Muddy Posted November 10, 2008 Super User Posted November 10, 2008 Just one last question; WHY IS HE NAKED IN THE BATHROOM WITH A DEAD FISH IN THE FIRST PLACE?
Randall Posted November 10, 2008 Author Posted November 10, 2008 Just one last question; WHY IS HE NAKED IN THE BATHROOM WITH A DEAD FISH IN THE FIRST PLACE? That's just wrong. ;D
Super User Catt Posted November 10, 2008 Super User Posted November 10, 2008 Dude that bass aint even 8 lbs Â
George Welcome Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Sometimes ludicrous tales travel through this media and this certainly seems to be one of those tales. "Who is John Fox? I found a guide named John Fox that claims to have caught numerous fish in the upper teens. Like 18 and 19 lbs. Anybody know him?" Mr. Fox presently has at least 6 world record bass pending. These and other dubious claims have been pending for the last 15-20 years. This fishing world of ours is actually quite small and there are very few within the industry that don't know about Mr. Fox's stretchable veracity when it comes to claims about bass. The film for the Incredible Walking Worm was shot at the Stick Marsh. You might ask what was the name of the lead fisherman: Mr. John Fox. Other than that he's a great guy.
Super User senile1 Posted November 10, 2008 Super User Posted November 10, 2008 Tell him to sign up on BR and post his side of the story.. ;D I did just to be fair. Randall, I know sometimes it's best to let things go, but in this case I think if I were in your shoes I would send him your many pictures of the hogs you've caught. Â Jealous indeed!!! Â Your hogs make this fish look like a "tournament fish" in comparison. Â
mattm Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 I think Flech should send him a picture of the 8lber he caught recently. Â I would put money that that fish is bigger than either of this shaved chest poser's fish.
mattm Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 I'm always one of the first ones to say that you can't tell weight by a pic, but a 15lber is not going to look like it might only be 6lbs. Â Here are a few pics radomly selected just in case anyone is thinking they might be bad pics.
mattm Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 This pic was not randomly selected. Â This is the absolute "smallest looking pic of a trophy bass I could find. Â This fish went 14lbs 4oz, but doesn't look that big. Â It does however look like it could eat this guys utah class trophies.
Super User senile1 Posted November 10, 2008 Super User Posted November 10, 2008 mattm, those pictures say it all. Â That's a big exclamation point on the argument.
BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted November 10, 2008 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted November 10, 2008 This fish is 27" and only went 8.41 lbs (weighed during ABA tournament on certified scales). It looks about the same size as  the 16 pounder he caught.
mattm Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Looks bigger to me. Â The scales were obviously wrong and you caught a 17lber. Â Congratulations.
Super User Muddy Posted November 10, 2008 Super User Posted November 10, 2008 Either that or Fishin Daddy you have small hands ;D
Super User WRB Posted November 10, 2008 Super User Posted November 10, 2008 You can tell a lot about a basses weight from a photo, if the picture hasn't been digitally altered. This is one reason why a length to girth formula is important; you can determine the weight within 5% to 10% depending on how the measurements were taken. This bass is obviously shorter than claimed, measured with the mouth open etc. Using the L x L X G/1200=pounds; Unknown girth; look at the widest area of the bass dorsal fin to belly; about 1/4 th the length= girth is 75% of the length, about 1/3rd = 80%, a little less than 1/2 = 100%. example 27" length with 75% girth, bass weighs 12.3 lbs. 27" bass with 80% girth, bass weighs 13.2 lbs 27" bass with 100% girth, bass weighs 16.4 lbs The bass in the photo's is skinny or 75% girth at best, therefor 12 lbs at the most. 24" bass with 75% girth weighs about 8.6 lbs.
