More on potential world record

There is more at the FLW site on the big bass caught in California -

Interesting thing - the fish was 29 inches long and 25 inches girth. On
Charles' caculator it would weigh20.138 pounds. Perry's bass was 32.5 inches
long and 28.5 in girth - the caculator shows 29.331 pounds for that one. Even
if Perry's fish was really skinny, and this one really fat, the measurements
are quite different.

You can click on the picture for a bigger one - that picture just don't look
right. Maybe I am just not used to seeing such a big bass!

Only one picture? Fishy indeed. It appears she not only let go the
"record" fish, but she was in an awful hurry to do so. Nothing about this
story makes sense.

I agree... if they had the sense to "properly" measure the fish, surely they
would have known to have it witnessed by someone other than some guy sitting
on the bank.

After seeing this picture, there's not a doubt in my mind that
this fish isn't even close to 20 pounds. Based on the size of her
hands compared to the size of the bass' mouth...I'd guess this fish
would've weighed between 11 and 15 pounds...at best!

Here are some of the camera tricks used to make this fish look
bigger:

1. This picture was taken at an upward angle which made the fish
the main object in the photo.

2. By holding the fish out with her arms extended...it makes the
fish look big compared to her body (and her body probably isn't that
big). BTW, look at her arm from her elbow to her hand and compare
it with the rest of her body...

A beautiful picture and marvelous claim perfectly suited to
something like the "Weekly World News" (see
http://www.weeklyworldnews.com/ ) BTW, anyone remember that farmer
that caught that 23 pound grasshopper over in Australia? (See
http://www.dochemp.com/grasshopper.html )

IMHO they won't allow it. First, the story has holes all throughout it.
Second, what is to stop the next person with a big fish from simply filling
it with lead and then finding a non-fishing person to confirm it's weight.

Here is a 21.7 bass from Lake Dixon, CA:

No friggin way that lady's bass is bigger.

You're right as rain there. You can really see the difference in the
relative size of the guy's hand
by the tail fin. Unless the woman is 7'10" tall and the guy is 4' 11", it
isn't even close.
If the powers-that-be allow this clintonesque maneuver to get through, they
might
as well throw out the whole record system.

hmmm....
how about the world record space alien fish ?
should have a picture here somewhere ....
