magmaster, do not take this the wrong way I am not attacking you. You did not see George with his world record bass. It was NEVER photographed. There are picture with his family standing around a replica that fit George's measurements. Ther might even be a pic of him with the replica but it wasnt cast off a real fish, it was carved. He has also caught other big bass and even one a few contests with large bass but nothing even close to his suposed WR. There were only 2 interviews that he personaly did. I am Ok with him eating it and no pictures but the measurments just dont add up.
