237.2XCUSME::TOMASI hate stiff waterFri Dec 04 1992 12:195
Hmmmm.... "Los Ba�os" eh?   If my Spanish serves me correctly, "Ba�o" means
BATHROOM!  This thing is getting mighty smelly.  Since bathrooms are involved,
I suspect the Legend is probably behind this scam!

237.6sounds fishy to me (maybe a striper)UNYEM::GEIBELLIN SEARCH OF SNOW BUNNIESFri Dec 04 1992 12:5011
    
    
     yeah but the interesting thing will be what did he catch it on?? a 1/8
    oz  hair jig, 4 year old mono 4 foot light action and the old 202
    zebco. sounds about right.
     
          heck if this isnt true at least it will liven up the file some

    	I called up BASS headquarters (boy they talk with a funny accent
    8^) ! ), they informed me that the reporter doing the article
    mis-identified the fish.  They (BASS) are looking into what it
    actually was.  The person told me probably a Striper hybrid.
    
    	So the bottom line, George Perry's record still stands  22lbs & 4
    ozs.

237.14the oldest bass in the world that has been caughtUNYEM::GEIBELLIN SEARCH OF SNOW BUNNIESMon Dec 28 1992 11:2015
    
    
      well the world record bass was caught in june of 1992, not once but
    3 times in  a matter of 4 hours.
    
      but the record broken wasnt the weight it was the age! 24 yrs old!!
    it weighed in at a wopping 6.?? lbs. and it was caught in a 100 acre
    lake in new york state.
    
      I wouldnt believe it either but I read it in the sports page last
    night.
