OK guys... here is the skinny.

You guys are absolutely correct!

Mike asked for line class and that is why you didn't see me post the "All Tackle" record for calico bass. All Tackle is a different catagory and I have no idea why this all tackle record was not also a line class record. Often times they are. There could be a number of reasons why it wasn't.

IGFA All TACKLE RECORD FOR CALICO BASS:

Caught by Thomas Murphy on Oct. 2, 1993
Newport Beach, CA
14 lbs. - 7 oz.

Surprisingly (if I recall correctly) it was caught from the Newport Harbor jetty. Not sure if it was South or North jetty.
