WOW.........

Yea it is a tie right?

Welcome to last month.

We covered this in third grade. 22.5=22.4, it's a tie.

I don't blame him, I blame the public school system.

So true, and peer pressure is a mother....

Tie goes to the runner.

Getting in baseball mode.

Let's flip a coin!

Old news.

SmokinShad, I have pasted a couple of threads below that will fill you in on the conversations about the recent world record bass from Japan.  You will probably find what you are looking for there.

If you look up the world record on BASS then it shows that the Japan fish surpassed George Perry's

Sorry to be Mr. controversy, but Perry's bass never existed.

"The fish was caught on a Creek Chub Perch Scale Wigglefish, Perry's only lure, and was 32 1/2 inches in length and 28 1/2 inches in girth. The weight and measurements were taken, recorded and notarized in Helena, Georgia."  Absolute BS!

Kurita's hippo was 27.2 inches long and 26.7 Girth, and they weighed the same?  Hahahahahahaaha!  Riiiiight.  It's absolutely physically impossible for goodness sake yet everyone buys it.  Weird.

Sorry George, nice try.

The IGFA should go back to school; 22 lbs 4 oz = 22.25 lbs, 22 lbs 5 oz = 22.31 lbs, not a tie. To make this catch a tie, the IGFA lowered the Kurita bass weight to 22 lbs 4 oz to equal the Perry bass weight????

It's easy to understand why there is confusion.

Kurita Bass should be #1, it is 22 lbs 5 oz or 22.31 lbs. and be listed with the correct weight. The IGFA can still call it a tie under their rules and list the weight correctly.

Read the threads listed above; IGFA requires a 2 oz difference in order to be declared heavier.  Kurita's was only 1 ounce, hence they declared it a tie.

We know what their rules are but common sense dictates that 5>4...

And Bass Akwards im right there with ya pal I don't believe George Perry's "record" bass ever existed...

Those measurement's belong to a bass weighing close to 30lbs...

Don't remind me. :'(At least the Sox won it in '05. Wrong thread for this.

I would definitely like to congratulate Manabu for the monster bass he caught, thing is amazing!

I read somewhere that when IGFA inspected the certified scale that was used, it was found to be reading one ounce high at 22lbs, so his fish actually weighed 22-4.
