Luke V. Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Am I the only one that thinks the hands are iffy looking? Why are all of the fingers curled like that? Might just be me, but I've never held a fish or seen a fish held anything like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CombatWombat Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 This picture is clearly fake. The border is pure white while the rest is discolored. Photography paper will turn yellow as it ages. It also looks like the grain on the bass is not consistent with the rest of picture. Grain is a texture you get naturally with shooting films where in digital you have to add it in.

Fat-G Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Seems to me that if the Perrys fish wasn't real hes the best liar ever. Its not like the weight is outlandish. All the biggest fish caught are right on par to that weight. The japan fish was an ounce heavier? Dottie was within a pound when snagged I think, not sure but close. For them to make that good of a guess 70+ yrs ago, then hell they can have the record! I mean if it was like 28-30 lbs and we never seen any fish close I could believe it was a hoax but that weight seems pretty much legit to me. Picture or not, I don't think bass have decided that 24 lbs is the upper ceiling for weight just cuz they heard that's what the record is You think there's a 24+ out there Ceaser? Me too... I think there is bound to be some real giants around the world... Japan, Africa, Mexico, etc. Some of those places are untapped big bass factories. I can't imagine what it would be like to live at one of those lakes for a year with a boat throwing nothing but swimbaits. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a world record swimming around somewhere in Virginia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some Alabama and South Carolina lakes have GIANT bass. If we were all fishing at these lakes we would be catching monster fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilcatfish Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I have a theory that there is a potential new world record lurking somewhere in most states, its just a matter of finding it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigworm Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Just noticed the best part of this picture!... He has a boot on his left leg and seems to not have one one on his right, plus his left knee seems to disappear behind the tail. On the other note, wasn't Dottie unofficially caught at 24lbs. I thought that was the weight when she was "snagged". Biggest fish I have ever seen with my own eyes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, easily a fake but cool pic. I hope I am alive to see the record shattered, hopefully by someone on this forum Cool video on Dottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceaser Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Ive persoanlly seen fish on the Delta that would be pushing breaking OUR record of a little over 18 lbs, dont know cuz how do you eyeball a huge teener! LOL but ive seen some freaking bohemoths! I dont know if we have one here but we grow em close... mostly without trout. IM sure there are some WR class fish swimming in alot of waters or i at least I like to think so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
