new State Record?

[grab the net]

Anybody else hear the rumor of a new record, 9lbs 6 oz. Taken on a lakle in the Alex area. Late last week. Story goes, he missed the bigger of the two, caught the 9-6. I know the name of the lake, but will wait to see if anybody else can confirm.

[Deitz Dittrich]

I have not heard this... I will keep my ears open.

I heard the same thing fishing in a tournament this weekend on the Chain in Alexandria everyone was talking about it. I also know the lake and heard the same story so who knows!

[Hammer Handle]

I heard the story also...but we will wait and see....

[JP Z]

Want to enlighten the rest of us............initials? Exact GPS coordinates...

[hhguide]

haha thats whats funny about it the guy that "supposedly" caught it and had the bigger one get off and he goes around telling everyone the lake the everything. If I caught a state record fish see if I tell you all the details! haha lol

[HellaBass]

My buddy asked if I had heard it, because some guy was telling him....

[Hammer Handle]

He may mention a lake, but I bet it is not the one he actually caught the fish out of.

So far, I think it is a big fish story.

[JP Z]

Ah, the opener fish tale it is. Did the piggie first attack his trolling motor?

[grab the net]

If it is the lake mentioned, it is very possible. Big fish taken out of it every year. Agape, where are you? confirm or dispel this fish tale. If it is true, I guess the other thread on where the next state record will come from is answered. Central MN.

I always question one thing. If a said person caught a state record bass but names a different lake as to deter people from pressuring the original lake, wouldn't that be falsifying info on the record application. That would be automatic disqualify as a state record for falsifying.

I heard the same "dock talk" at both tournaments we fished this weekend. I guess we will just have to wait and see. The lake mentioned does hold pigs, but...

[Central Bassman]

I wonder if you call the DNR in that area if they would tell you if its true or not??

[hhguide]

already tried. They couldn't tell me either way. so I dont know

[Slyster]

I have a friend of a friend whose wifes cousin's daughters husbands son was actually there when it happened!

[Central Bassman]

LOL!!! that went threw the hole family then!!!

[Royce Aardahl]

Nothing posted at christophersons bait yet. But they have heard the rumor.

WOW, I'm impezzed.

Can I have yer autygraf?

[ikeslayer]

so nothing ever came of this?

ike

[Central Bassman]

I have been looking all over for it that few days and have not seen anything

[hhguide]

Its short of quieted down around the Alexandria area about it but people are still talking i'm starting to think its a fib.

[ricqik]

If it's official, it'd be announced on the DNR site. Looks like it's another story, just like every year.

[Mark Christianson]

Did you hear I caught a state record yesterday? It should be validated tomorrow.

[matthothand]

Hey guys I'm the one that caught it but I chose not to officially register it. It weighed 9-8 on my de-liar. I didn't think to take any pictures until after I'd already ate it! Oops!

[Hammer Handle]

How could you have caught it when I did?

It was 10-12 and I decided to let it go as it was illegall hooked (not in the mouth).

Funny, someone claims they caught a world's record bass and used a simular story. The only picture they took was the guy "straight arming" a bass. Nice fish, but the straight arm made it look silly. And, not a world record.
