Just curious, whats the weight on that bass?

 

[turtlespd]

Well the previous record was held by a George perry, i think. Im trying to recall on my head and you know how good my head is. Anyways, the bass weight aprox. 21-22lbs but was never official being it was way back. Largest, official i think is Bob Capri out of lake Castaic, which i fish regularly trying to catch that elusive world record bass. THe bass you see above is getting checked out to see if its legit! and is sapposed to weigh somewhere near 25lbs.

The fish was snagged so it will probably be thrown out and that guy caught that same fish last year and it weighed I think around 22 pounds and the year before that Mike Long caught it and it weighed I think around 20 pounds. Everybody and there mother is going to be out on that lake trying to catch that thing, that fish is worth millions.

Bob Crupi is the name. I remember the day he caught that fish. I don't think you'll see any more fish close to a record come out of Castaic, the stripers will see to that.

Man! that's a big fish. I'd like to see it hold up.

 

[Bayslayer]

It might hold up but well see, what a beutifull fish tho.

The story on perry's fish is that it was weighed on a postal scale that is why the record is held.

 

[Siapin]

I heard the story on Jim Rome this morning, and supposedly it wasn't official because it wasn't weighed on an official fish association whatever you call it scale. And since it was thrown back, the record from the 30's is still standing.
