#6366, "Bassmaster Lunker Page"


  

          

Ok I know, there's been a few how do you say .. blatant exaggerations on the Bassmaster Magazine lunker page in the past. But this months Magazine deserves special credit for the most all time bogus exaggeration ever :D There's a pic on the bottom right of some guy holding a fish that might go 12 pounds if it was 30 inches long and the weight claimed on the fish is 18lbs 1oz. I always like to look at the pics but please Bassmaster, use a small amount of common sense when people submit stuff like this LOL.

Rob, classic- I always thought that was put in the mag for comedy purposes- I guess it would be in bad taste to send in a pic of a 4 pounder and claim it as a double digit and see if they print it?? }(

we could get a pool together and bet on which guy's 18" fish gets the nod for BASS trophy- Mullet wigs would be a plus

my guess is the guy with the longest arms wins

Come on now guys they should know that us California fisherman know what trophy fish look like. They can't fool us. Please guys quit holding your fish with your damn arm out to the camera in hopes of making your fish look bigger! Hold it next to you like true trophy hunters do! And quit lying about your fish size you are only fooling yourself, cause guess what, we're not buying it, so lie to your dumb friends and leave us out of it!
Good luck trophy fishing to all,

You're right Rob, this is a joke! That bass might be 18 lbs if that guy is 11 feet tall. The fish is a typical state of Florida lunker: really long with a huge head and no girth. Since you have to include length and girth measurements to get on the Lunker Page, I wonder what numbers he made up. Check out this story about a really big Florida bass:
(You have to go halfway down the page to get to it.)

I always go to the photos page first, and I bout fell off the toilet when I saw that "18 plus". Thats the most blatant lie I think Ive seen in a long time.

But lunker larry looks good (snicker!), and no doubt that fishs weight is reported honestly.

PS: The new look is awesome.

....the 18 something in the lunker pages of BassMaster is a new official state record. The article said that 17 something was the recognized FL state record (unofficial is 20 something). So, I wonder if the fella in BassMaster knows he stuck a new state record?

Ya know, I bet its a typo by BassMaster. Has to be.

I found that story while looking for the Florida record cause I was pretty sure that it was only 17+lbs. I think I recognize the pic in the link from a past BM Lunker Page also. At that time I had the same thought...Isn't that a new Florida record? We should just call it BM instead of Bassmaster cause that's the best time to read it. :+

A while back Nico found this site www.trophybass.com.
There's a bunch of big fish pics on there, no doubt as big as they say they are.

But the one that takes the cake is on this page:

http://www.trophybass.com/catch.html

You gotta let the slideshow go until almost the end before you can see it. These guys are claiming an 'unofficial' Florida state record of 20lbs 5oz. The pic is so obviously photoshopped, its downright hilarious :) I'd be afraid to go float tubing if bass go this big!!! hahaha

Check it out

LOL. That pic just comes off as funny to me. Could be a 3 pound fish for all we know. Insanely obvious photoshop. Once again, LOL. Did you see the hardcore hick looking guy with no shirt on wearing short shorts with like a 12 pound fish? Even funnier. :7

Ya know, I haven't seen an issue of Bassmaster for many months. :-(
I guess that's what I get for renewing through the club at a tourney rather than directly. Not that anyone did anything wrong. Just that it's taking a long, long time for BASS to catch-up and send me magazines again.
