I have not seen this posted on this site and many of you may be unaware of the event: Big Bass , this has been confirmed and is
legitimate. George Perry's long standing mark is now in serious jeopardy and sadly it probably won't come from this country.

Here's a link to a video on the fish:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXOyXArL9rw Technically however Perry's fish still stands - they are tied! Perry's fish was 22 lb. 4 oz. This fish was 22 lb. 5 oz. According to IGFA regulations for record fish weighing less than 25 pounds (such as all of the black bass subspecies), the replacement (record applicant) must weigh at least two ounces more than the existing record. The Japanese fish outweighed Perry's fish by less than an ounce. "A catch which matches the weight of an existing record or exceeds the weight by less than the amount required to defeat the record will be considered
a tie," according to the IGFA.

Zoinks... and to think the Japanese are better known for making things smaller.
Any word on whether that fish was released? Mike |
