UPDATE: On the big bass.
The mother of all freshwater fishing record still looms within reach. The giant California bass caught that for a moment threatened to crush the long standing world record won't claim the official title because the angler who caught it, Mac Weakley of Carlsbad CA., elected not to pursue having the fish certified by the International Game Fish Association.
Mr Weakley chose to release the fish because he didn't want to kill it, and because he didn't think IGFA would certify it as a world record dut to the fact it had been foul hooked.He later learned that the automatic IGFA disqualification applies only to fish that are intentionally foul hooked. Weakley and everyone involved with the catch claims the bass was no foul hooked on purpose. The big bass was reportedly huddled around a spawning bed in about 12 feet of water. A smaller male bass was nearby. The anglers took turns casting to the bigger fish. Weakley happenend to be the one holding the rod when the bite came. He felt a thump and jerked. Unfortunately, the hook buried in the bass's back, just beneath the dorsal fin....
