Fishing Forum

So this probably belongs off-topic, but it's about fish!
Just got the latest Bass-Master - and there's this caption by a picture of the phattest hog of a bass . . .

Quote: Paul Crowder holds what could have been the Arkansas state record bass. The only record he now holds was filed by the police

So this guys lands a 16 lb, 5 oz largemouth. Gets it officially weighed and measured in just over the 36 year old record. Then as the game and fish are checking the records - they find the guy JUST bought a new fishing license - like 3 hours AFTER reporting the catch. Seems his license expired last april '11.
So instead of a record fish - he's got a $1000 fine, and faces up to 30 days in jail. Fish was siezed - no trophy on this bozos wall!

Wow. Takes all kinds. Kinda like those million dollar lottery winners in Michigan, claiming food stamps and welfare! Here's your sign!!!!

Measured at 26.5 inch length, and 22.3/4 girth. Yes - a girth bigger than the length of a bass I've met out here! (yet)

Thanks Hookinup for posting that pic. Perfect! What a belly on that beast!

Here's a pic I found of it on the internet

In high school I live 30 minutes from Arkansas and always got a kick out of those hillbillies.Saved the $10 for a licence until after the record and got a $1000 fine. Reminds me the time a friend went fishing with his brother that lived in Arkansas. Hit opening weekend on either the White or Buffalo River ( can't remember which ) in the Ozarks. Cleaned up on trout and nobody around. Eating dinner in town they heard that opening weekend was the following weekend [laugh], oops.
