Roy Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 OK, I'll start. That fish is far from 12 pounds. It might be 6 pounds. MIGHT. It's still a nice fish just nowhere near the record books.
lew Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 Someone should tell him not to stand on the scale himself when he weighs his fish
Jigger Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 Good morning, great strory. That guy is going to feel bad once he realizes the kind of $$$ he could've got.
OhioFisherman Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 Only 22 inches? I just don`t see it being a 12 pound fish.
Tacklebuster Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 I have a hard time believing its anywhere close to 12 lbs. Having caught plenty of salmon in that range, it doesn't compare in size. Still a very nice fish, and too funny.

pikehunter Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 Not likely a record bass, hard to believe it is that heavy, but it is one big bass
Whopper Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 If that fish was 12 pounds it visited Jenny Craig before the photo op. Nice looking smallie though. Whopper
Jay T Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 There is no way that fish is almost 13lbs. Could he hold out that fish any further??
mart Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 Now that's a far fetched 12lber!!! Maybe 6.5lbs but not even close to the record. Compare it to this 9.83lber.... http://sports.espn.go.com/outdoors/fishing...tory?id=2931118 The two don't even compare. Wander how many pops he had ????
Crazyhook Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 notice the girth is 25" and the length is 22" the fish would be round!
ilario Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 i think its closer to 15lb... mmmm... yummy sm
Zib Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 If someone believes that fish is 12 Lbs. then I've got some ocean front property in Iowa to sell then.
HotelTango Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 LOL, nice fish. But I do beleive the weight is a bit off LOL Cheers Marc
rickster Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 6 MAYBE 6.5LB still a nice smallie still wouldn't have eaten it still probably tasted like a rubber boot
PatrickGG Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 If it was a 12 pounder it would have easily been over 15 years of age and it baffles me how some people would eat a record fish.
Dutch Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 Not 12, not even close. Pretty crafty camera work holding it so far out from his body. The scientists will tear that picutre apart once they analyse it. There is no way that fish had a 25" girth. My wife's waist is 27" around and that ain't even close. I just wated 5 minutes reading that article - wish I had it back.
oncogene Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 ... maybe that SMB ate alot of lead sinkers/weights lately... who knows
ehg Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 I caught a 23 inch smallmouth in Pigeon that was a tad under 7 lbs, so i'd think that was a 6.5 lb fish held right to the camera. ehg
Tom McCutcheon Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 I've got a picture on my wall of two 7lb. perch being held out at arms length.
