I use this site for uploading pics:

I would careful with claims of 'potential state records' with no measurements or weights to back it up! I think we definitely would want to at least see the fish though

You've been trolled imo.

LOL!! Sorry, but that's gotta be like a 15+ pound fish. NO WAY that came from MN.

My great uncle told me a story that his dad, my great grandpa caught and ate a 9.5 pound bass he caught out of north twin lake in mahnomen county back in the 30's lol.... he said they weighed it. I always loved hearing that story.

As far as this story goes, could be another one of those internet tales, we will see

More like Lake Biwa in Japan (World Record) than Vermillion, MN.

The IGFA announced its decision today. The 22 pound, 4.97 ounce largemouth caught in Japan by Manabu Kurita will be shown as a tie. George Perry's bass that held the record for over 75 years will be considered a tie although it weighed 22 pounds, 4 ounces. The IGFA requires a new record be beat by two ounces to be considered as breaking the old record.

If the thread title says something about "state record" there is 99.99% chance that we are dealing with a stinky pantload.

[Comprev30255]

I understand everyone's feed back, I was thinking the same. But what are chances this could be real?

[hockeybc69]

Too funny...

[EBass]

0 to none. They don't get that big here - period. MN state record is 8lbs 15oz, that bass is double that.

If you posted this on the spearing forum, they'd tell you otherwise. Never met a spearfisherman thst didn't regularly see 10lb+ bass each winter.

[Raider4ever]

Chances are slim to none. And Slim is on a fast horse outta town.

[ozzie]

spearers may say they saw a 10lb bass but that is in the water and everything looks bigger in the water and until it is caught weighed verified it is all just a "fish tale"...good luck

Yea, the same guys who see 34" walleyes every year...

[bassnub]

LMAO... the picture has been making the rounds on FB and the fish was caught in Cali.

[Presco]

Lets say that fish weighs 20lbs, how much does that dude weigh? 40lbs!? That fish certainly breaks the record for 'weight of angler' to 'weight of fish' ratio.

[Juan Grande]

Yes, definitely an advantage of being Sven Sundgaard proportions, fish look bigger when you hold them. Not that much bigger though
