Super User senile1 Posted February 11, 2010 Super User Posted February 11, 2010 SmokinShad, I have pasted a couple of threads below that will fill you in on the conversations about the recent world record bass from Japan. You will probably find what you are looking for there. http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1262975946/0 http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1260989686/15 Quote
Dalton Tam Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 If you look up the world record on BASS then it shows that the Japan fish surpassed George Perry's Quote
Bass_Akwards Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Sorry to be Mr. controversy, but Perry's bass never existed. "The fish was caught on a Creek Chub Perch Scale Wigglefish, Perry's only lure, and was 32 1/2 inches in length and 28 1/2 inches in girth. The weight and measurements were taken, recorded and notarized in Helena, Georgia." Absolute BS! Kurita's hippo was 27.2 inches long and 26.7 Girth, and they weighed the same? Hahahahahahaaha! Riiiiight. It's absolutely physically impossible for goodness sake yet everyone buys it. Weird. Sorry George, nice try. Quote
Super User WRB Posted February 11, 2010 Super User Posted February 11, 2010 The IGFA should go back to school; 22 lbs 4 oz = 22.25 lbs, 22 lbs 5 oz = 22.31 lbs, not a tie. To make this catch a tie, the IGFA lowered the Kurita bass weight to 22 lbs 4 oz to equal the Perry bass weight???? It's easy to understand why there is confusion. Kurita Bass should be #1, it is 22 lbs 5 oz or 22.31 lbs. and be listed with the correct weight. The IGFA can still call it a tie under their rules and list the weight correctly. WRB Quote
rubba bubba Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Read the threads listed above; IGFA requires a 2 oz difference in order to be declared heavier. Kurita's was only 1 ounce, hence they declared it a tie. Quote
Thai Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Read the threads listed above; IGFA requires a 2 oz difference in order to be declared heavier. Kurita's was only 1 ounce, hence they declared it a tie. We know what their rules are but common sense dictates that 5>4... And Bass Akwards im right there with ya pal I don't believe George Perry's "record" bass ever existed... Those measurement's belong to a bass weighing close to 30lbs... Quote

Eternal Angler Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 I would definitely like to congratulate Manabu for the monster bass he caught, thing is amazing! Quote

WRB I read somewhere that when IGFA inspected the certified scale that was used, it was found to be reading one ounce high at 22lbs, so his fish actually weighed 22-4. Quote
