new world record?

2212.1

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.

That would sure put a twist on the whole " World Record Catch instant
millionaire claim", in a sport dominated by men recreationally and
professionally I wonder if most will chalk it up to it being a fluke
considering it was caught by a women. I hope she gets it. It would prove to
be interesting. IMO

There is a picture - and the way she is holding it makes it look big. It is a
big fish,no doubt. But it was released before being verified. Surprised they
gave her a new record. And I wonder why there was so little news about it - she
caught it on August 24th.

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

http://igfa.org/records/records.cfm

She caught it on 12 pound line last August.

Good luck to her. It takes quite a long time to get recorded.

It's PENDING. Unless IGFA's webmaster has double posted to both PENDING and
RECORD sections, it's not official yet.

Released before verification??? Bummer

But then again, George Perry's fish was never verified either, but that was
long before IFGA's days.

I am pretty sure his bass was weighed on certified scales in a post office
before witnesses.
