He asked me what this was and described it to me fairly well and I said it was probably some of the comm guys yoyoing big bait near the bottom. Few recs actually fish like this. Personally I have never done it and don't know exactly how to rig it but know it goes on. The weight had fallen thru the baitfish and was in the belly of the bass, it was about 8 oz of lead. the baitfish was opened and the weight inserted and baitfish slit was stapled up closed. I didn't get exactly where the hook was but he said he didn't find a hook. The fish also had a second large bait in there as well.
He said he was glad he didn't weigh it in for a contest because he would not want to take the blame for something like this if it was opened up.
PS (lots of large fish were brought in yesterday by the comms...several close to 50#)
