Great Catch.
Where I come from, 20 lb test is not light tackle. 8 lb test is...
Either way, great job.

I don't think you get any cash from the IGFA for a world record fish. All you get is your moment of fame for being the record holder until the next big one is caught.
If you were to catch a world record Large mouth or maybe striper , you could possibly cash in on the fame but it wouldn't be money from the IGFA. In all honesty , I don't think you could make a penny off being the world record holder for a sea bass.
However , it would be fun to catch a big one!  |

They say that when someone breaks the record for Large Mouth Bass it would be worth upwards of.......One MILLION Dollars (said in my best Dr. Evil Voice)....if not more, in tackle endorsments and appearances. |

I think you are right about the Million but not a dime would be from the IGFA.

I'd have given them the fluke and eaten the black sea bass, those are much better than fluke IMHO.

yeah, but black sea bass is a prized food to chinese. black sea bass steamed with soy sauce, ginger, and scallion... the crimewatchers ate it with my parents.
