				 | I first read of this fish three of four years ago. It does its rounds traveling from show to show, people taking pictures with it, that sort of thing. I can't recall were I saw the article or if it contained info regarding its capture. However, even in better pictures that I've seen the fish doesn't quite look 92lbs. But never having seen one or caught one I can't be one to judge. |

				 | Big fish indeed, but the biggest ever captured? I've heard reports of a couple over 100 pounds netted in the late 1800s. I'm not sure how accurate those reports are, but they've been quoted a number of times. |

				 | If I remember correctly,it was caught in a net,and didn't survive.Noone intentionally killed it for a mount.There's a mount that went over 90 lbs(net caught)at Capt Don's bait and tackle,Charlestown,RI.(It is impressive) |

				 | Nice looking fish but my feeling is any bass caught over 30lbs should be released to grow bigger and to give somebody else a chance to catch it. I know a couple of guys who keep anything of any size just to show it off. That is what camera's are for. |

				 | Newport Lures use to sell his soft plastic shads with that as a backdrop for years.  It was at the Worcester and NY shows.
 She's a fantastic fish all right.
