On march 23rd, Lee Ellis, of the same member name, caught a bass weighing 18.35 lbs, surpassing the previous jr. world record of 17.22 by more than a pound!

The bass was taken from Lake (miami) Garcia. The fish was caught on a live shiner and has been submitted for certification according to Rebecca Reynolds of the IGFA.

Lee is a 15 yr old Georgia native who became a BR member back in February.

We're honored to have you on the board, and good luck with your IGFA approval.

WAY TO GO LEE!!

I am going to say it's more like 99.9999999999999% ;D.  I have to think that is the biggest bass anybody on this forum has ever caught.

Congrats Lee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats young man!I hope you will soon be the new Jr. WR holder.Lets have the story,I want to hear how it wrapped you in some grass,jumped 3 times,made 6 runs under the boat and the net wasnt big enough,etc......come on,lets hear it. ;D

WOW!!!!Great JOB!

Lee told me he had recently caught a monster nearby on a senko I believe and then tried for this one but it wouldn't take it so in went mr. shiner to git 'er done. He said it wasn't much of an aggressive fight as much as one of weight.

Senko77-Send me that pic again if you can and I'll post it. I didn't save it last time.

Lee's parents are leary of the internet as all parents should be.  This is the reason he isn't on too much and also the reason I am going to black out his face in the pics.  Senko will tell you, this is a very internet weary family (applause) and it took all of a month for them to let us tell everyone here about this accomplishment.

I'll will personally back up his story.  I have spoken with the IGFA directly concerning this submission.

Sweeeeeeeee :)T   Leeeee!

Hawgatha Royal!

WAY TO GO!

I am pretty sure that the chances of anyone of us catching a fish that big is like saying I am going to be the next Einstien! :  GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT!

Great job!!! I wonder why his parents would be weary when the website is monitored by a member with the name of low budget hookers???

Ho-LEE-cow!!!!!!

Way to go man!!!

Way to go Lee! Can't wait to see the pic!   ;D

;D

Way to go Lee, Looking foward to seeing the pic. You will have to tell us what it is like to be a record holder. Not very many of us will ever be able to say that.

Great Job!!!!!

Matt
