At first i didnt believe them. But with the pic i am now a believer.

:oWOW!!!! :o

It is a shame that it was foul hooked.What a pig!

OH MY GOODNESS!!! That is a huge fish! It could probably eat my dog!!!

Good Lord!!! That thing is a BEHEMOTH!!! I could definately see how that beast is a world record fish. I still don't think that the IGFA is going to certify it as the new world record. What a shame...

But on the upside...it is proof that there are fish out there that can dethrone the current WR. Gives us all something to dream about and shoot for. Great news for the sport.

I think Mattlures put it well on that other thread:

"It's probably not going to be recognized, but it's still the biggest bass ever caught"

Oh man, that things a pig!!!  Even if it isn't recognized as the WR, it shows you its only a matter of time before someone breaks the record.

Well,I dont know.....it does look like his arm is extended toward the camera a little bit.Could actually be smaller than it looks. ;D

NOT!......that thing is BIGGER THAN BIG!

Too bad the dude couldnt have hooked,certified and measured it correctly.I want Perry's record broken.

How old do you all think that fish is? For a fish to get that large it has to be pretty darn old...for a Lm Bass anyway. What do you all think the measurements of that beast are? What are everyone's best guesses?

That thing is a truck!!

The military grade Hummer of fish! ;D I bet that thing has a HEMI. ;D

  THAT THING IS GYNORMOUS!  (a word only in the fisherman's vocabulary that is used to describe something when there is no other word to describe it.  

Even if it is not the certified world record, it is in my book.  Lake Dixon, here I come

Yeah...you and about every bass fisherman in world.  

Speechless!  

I cant wait for this story to fully develop so we can hear everything that happened!!!!

Where are the Georgia boys now???? i think this fish will be recognized provided it was certified.

I wonder why Mac said he foul hooked it because that seems to be a big factor in this fish actually becoming a record. Either way, at least we have a photo of this slob.

That is the most beautiful fish I have ever seen.

From what an eyewitness said,there were a few people around them that saw that he had foul hooked it.......could be why he 'fessed up and said something,could just be an honest guy......who knows.Who cares?What a fish!And if his scales were "ON",it went 25 even on them.

That is the most beautiful fish I have ever seen.

Actually I think it's quite ugly!!!! ;D ;D

All kidding aside, that girl is huge........but man BIG bass sure are not as elegent looking as a big pike or muskie, it look like it ate a basket ball. But I sure would have liked to have caught it ;D

It's a hawg alright

Do you know how incredibly lazy a bass that size would be?    You'd probably get more fight out of a 12pounder but not nearly the prestige.  Good catch dude...whoever you are.

That fish is equivalent to a 1000lb human.
