I Agree with you they could not take away the record from a persn just because the bass was fed trout (although it is unfair for us east coasters!!;)
but the record is a record maybe one day they will split the resords in accordance to region or strian of bass
BEN god bless

To say that bass were "fed" trout their whole lives is a misrepresentation. Yes, they live in systems where trout are stocked, but to say they are "fed" conjures up visions of a fish bowl with hand feeding.
Threadfin shad are/have been stocked into many waters. Thus, if a big fish is caught there should we say "that doesnt count, that fish was fed shad its whole life." And, bluegill and crappie are stocked in many waters, so if a WR is caught were they are stocked should we all say....., well you get the point.
If somebody had a very small pond with some Floridas in it, and the landowner ram packed it with trout (while minimizing the number of bass in the pond), then they caught a WR in it, then we may have an argument. However, all systems in Cal that produce huge fish are naturally functioning systems, most of which trout are native to. So the whole "canned hunt" argument is not valid, not even almost.
And, anybody who thinks its easy to catch one of these "hand fed fatties" better think again, cause it aint easy at all.
Texas and Florida are just jealous. Theres a reason I live in Cali, and its not because of the cheap gas and cheap real estate.:(

what you have in California is the perfect environment to grow trophy bass- nothing wrong with that- the same can be said for some of the Mexican lakes, the more they clamp down on commercial fishing in trophy lakes, especially with gill nets, the better chance 20+ fish will come from south of the border. Those fish are getting fat on tilapia and other natives, but they too have the advantage of good genetics in a very good environment to grow trophies. Bagwell's article was pretty good, sometimes he seems kind of kooky but he definetly got that one pretty good. The biggest momma of them all got that big in a Georgia backwater, so I don't see any reason for right coasters to have a problem with the fish back east not being able to compete. I do like the fact that the boys in Texas are busting their ass to catch up with Cali, all the while seeing nothing but tail lights!! I'm no biologist, but there are probably 10-15 lakes in California that have an honest 20 swimming in them, or a good shot at growing one. How cool is that??? }(

don't forget that the record could easily come from NorCal.
