muskymax Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Hello Fishermen and Fisherwomen, I came across this article last night about Leaha Trew from Santa Rosa, California who caught a 22 pound, 8 ounce largemouth bass in Spring Lake on August 24, 2003. However she released the fish and basically through away the chance of winning 8 million dollars. WOW that must hurt big time.

Golfisher Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 That lake apparently has a history of producing giant bass. It's gonna get pounded like never before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carp-starter Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 The lady may have lost a lot of money by releasing her bass. What would you have done? Or what would you do if you already had your limit and you caught your "world record fish"? Here is a thread about a "what if" situation. What if you caught a world record and you already had 3 keepers http://www.thebassbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=98395 carp-starter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mepps Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 (edited) this one is 25 lbs.. "The bass weighed 25 pounds, 1 ounce on a hand-held scale, which – if approved – would shatter the world record, the 22-pound, 4-ounce bass caught by George W. Perry at Montgomery Lake in Georgia in 1932." Edited June 26, 2007 by mepps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
