20 LB + BASS?

[SPJ]

HAS ANYONE HEARD OF THE 20LB + BASS CAUGHT ON WEDNSDAY AT DON PEDRO. I HEARD IT BOTTOMED OUT A 25LB SPRING SCALE. I GUESS DFG CAME TO DO AN ACCURATE WEIGHT AND MEASURMENT. THIS IS JUST WHAT I HEARD.

I heard it was caught by a Japanese angler Mr. Shimada of Evergreen? Probably just a rumor though

Being the skeptic, that I am, I would call F&G in that area and see if they actually did so and go from there. Most of these reports/rumors and are just that. Perks our interest however. Bill K

yep, I will ask him when I have dinner with him tomorrow night, he just flew back last night... Wonder if the rumor mill is true....

I heard the same thing but I heard it was a 20 pound scale..The source I heard this from is very reliable and at the time they were looking for the right scales and doing all it took to keep the fish alive..I am waiting to find out as well..

JIGS, What do you know....

[pokey69]

the bass must have swallowed the 10 pound jig

[badbass25]

What i heard was from bub tosh (on tuesday).... and he said that he got a phone call (while he was on a guided trip) from someone that said, there was a fish that was caught that bottomed out a 19lb scale.... Sounds kinda fishy, because I've never heard of a 19lb scale. I thought they came in 5lb increments... Thats all I've heard...

ALL WE KNOW IS THIS, THERE WAS A TOURNAMENT WEDNESDAY, AND NO ONE KNOWS OF A BIG BASS CLOSE TO THAT SIZE BEING CAUGHT.
ALL THE FISH & GAME PEOPLE WE KNOW AND I HAVE TALKED TO, KNOW OF NO 20 LB. BASS OR OF THE SUCH. NOT AS OF THURSDAY A.M. ANYWAY.. THATS ALL WE KNOW.

THANKS

This was on a blog here in Japan about being caught in america last week???

[g-man]

I'll tell you what if it is true that lake is gonna get pounded. Not that it isn't already. If its true I would love to see a pic. my guess is that its bull S.

[Hollywood]

pic above your post rookie!

[Bill K]

Two questions. (1) why hold a large fish so far out in front, unless it is to make it look larger that it really is? (2). Where on Don Pedro is the background like that? Bill K

[Fishin' Dave]

Woods Creek. Looks just like it. Also the river past Moccasin

[Hollywood]

My creek?

[Fishin' Dave]

Nope, that creek is stiff.

[Hollywood]

man for a second I thought you guys were naming a creek after me! darn it, kinda got my hopes up!

[g-man]

Come on Hollywood that ain't a 20 pound bass. I thought you knew something about pictures. Look how far out he is holding the fish. Sorry bud, but on this one you da rookie...

[Steve]

That fish isnt even almost 20.

This type of stuff pops up like clockwork every year. In the coming weeks we will no doubt hear of a new world record being caught. Likely to be another rumor.

[Phil]

HUM ??? IS THAT SNOW ON THE GROUND ???

[pokey69]

I dont know that much about holding up fish but can you really hold up 20 pounds worth of bass by its lower jaw? without ripping its mouth off?

[Kevin]

In my opinion, that fish is lucky to go 7 1/2 pounds.

I was scheduled to fish tomorrow with an outdoor writer, but the trip has been canceled because he has been re-routed to cover the potential world record bass caught from Don Pedro yesterday.

My source is a swimbait manufacturer who was going to be with us, and he talked to the outdoor writer today. He was told the scale was a spring 20 pound scale.

[Sean Graf]

Insiders have told me that this is indeed the fish that was caught at Pedro: They tell me this is the one!

[mac (Doyle McEwen)]

It is absolutely amazing to me how so many people can look at a picture and tell you the weight of the bass portrayed..Hold it clos, hold it far away, hold it any way you want to, that bass is huge..Does it weigh 20+, hell I don't know, but I sure as hell will not say it doesn't..

Is there any real news yet?

[Phil]

NO !
