California Man Claims Record Bass Catch
CARLSBAD, Calif., Mar. 22, 2006
A Southern California man has a fish tale which, if true, could give him one of angling's most cherished records. Mac Weakley said he caught a 25.1-pound largemouth bass on Monday at Dixon Lake in San Diego County.
After weighing it on a hand-held digital scale, he released it.
Weakley plans to pursue the record, even though the fish was foul-hooked, meaning the hook lodged in the fish's body, not its mouth. He said it wasn't snagged intentionally.
Jason Schratwieser of the International Game Fish Association said the group would consider the fish as a world record.
The biggest bass on record weighed 22 pounds, 4 ounces. It was caught in 1932 by George W. Perry at Georgia's Montgomery Lake.
