Actually PENDING means a lot more than IGFA got an application in the mail.
It means that IGFA got enough information to consider the application as
legitimate and IGFA approved the expense of processing the application
further
The listing below hers could be considered for a New Jersey waterbody record
or a child's record or a variety of possibilities. IGFA seems to be hired
by some states to maintain the state's records.
I do not know why IGFA placed this fish in the 12 pound class and not in the
All Tackle class.
Good luck.

Pending means nothing other than an application was submitted. Is the
listing below hers suggesting that the 3 pound 4 ounce bass would be the
12
pound line class record? Geeze...

She and her bass are on IGFA's Pending Records page:

She caught it on 12 pound line last August.
Good luck to her. It takes quite a long time to get recorded.

This months issue of the International Game Fish Association
newsletter
shows a
woman holding up a big bass. It says the fish was 29 inches long,
27.5
inches
fork length and 25 inch girth. It weighed just over 22.5 pounds on a
Bocagrip
scale.
IGFA is processing the application for a new world record. Wonder if
it
will
make it. How accurate is the Bocagrip?
She caught it on a Storm Wildeye jerkbait in Spring Lake, California.
