I have advocated for years that northern strain LMB should have a seperate record status from Florida strian LMB. They may look similar, but they are not the same bass; different number of lateral line scales for example. My PB northen LMB was caught from lake Casitas back in 1971; 12lbs 4 oz, also on a jig. The world record northen should be around 15 lbs., so any 10+ NLMB is a trophy bass, where a 15+ should be the bench mark for FLMB, since they can grow more than 5 lbs. heavier. Size is realtive to where you live, the climate and type of bass.

Actually, I caught the world record bass! But... I foul hooked it so I threw it back, I'm that honest!!

Yeah, I caught it showed it to only my friends and then called my lawyer who doesn't bass fish but told me it'd be in my best interest to release the fish so I listened to him.

Where did I catch it? Well, I caught it in this small obscure lake that no ones ever heard of. It's a great lake! Me and my friends have all caught several bass that have been close to the record before but I guess I got lucky?

Well, I did pay I guy a $Grand$ to let me fish it...he wasn't available for comment though.
