81lb Bass?

[rizzo]

Heres a scenario for everyone to think about: You catch a world record fish. Upon inspection by a state biologist they find it had 10 pounds of lead in it, 7 pieces of #8 rebar down the spine, pumped full of water and stuffed with rotten bunker. Theres about 30 pounds.... If you think you have the record, you NEED to prove you're innocent of these games.

In this day and age its rediculous the things people would cheat for. You're going to get criticized in this situation. Gutting the fish and finding 3 yoyo rigs is one thing, stuffing the fish is another. Upon examination and you find no tampering - alright we're on to something here, adds credibility to the record.

He should of let them inspect the fish and submit the paperwork and then there would not be any controversey. Instead hes letting a possible world record fish rot in the back of a pickup truck? This was a pic of his 60lber from earlier this year, I know there was alot of discussion on this fish and OTW got quite a few emails. Guess they made it a point to get down there and inspect the fish today...
