Yup---the powers that be at Marine Fisheries consider a live bass in a well (or on a stringer) presumptive evidence of your intent to "hi-grade".
What you can do if you want an official weight is to send a qualifying hand scale (Manley, Chatillion and BogaGrip the leading 3) to IGFA, and they'll certify it if it's accurate within their limits.
