It is highly unlikely that George Perry caught the world record bass. I read Perry’s 1974 interview with Bassmaster magazine and it is not convincing. George Perry found a way to get a few bucks from a Field and Stream contest and he did it more than once. Not only the measurements do not add up there was conflicting statements between Perry and his fishing partner regarding where the fish was weighted. These two scammers couldn’t even get their story to jive. I wonder what the second largest bass caught in Georgia weighted. It would not surprise me if it didn't make 17 pounds. A 22-4 in June, it’s not impossible to catch a world record in June just unlikely. So what did Perry’s fish weigh in February 24 plus? I attached a picture of one of Perry’s contest winning bass. No wonder the little scammer thought his big bass went 22-4. He claims the one in the picture went 13-14.

Were all chasing the number 22-4, which never existed, well never existed in Georgia.
