Where do you go to catch world record bass? Many people go to Florida to fish for that trophy bass but did you know that 4 other states have a bigger state record than Florida? Not only that but one of the states is said to have produced a new world record.
Let's dive right in.
Looking
for a World Record Bass
Florida's record bass is
17.27 pounds, but others often cite an uncertified fish of 20.125
pounds (a fisheries biologist did not physically see the fish to
certify it). Leaha Trew supposedly caught a new world record
largemouth in California.
It weighed 22 pounds, 8
ounces, beating George Perry's 1932 record catch by 4 ounces. The
problem is there was only one picture taken of it and it wasn't
certified by a biologist or a California state fish and game
official.
Where is the next world record bass going to
come from? Florida, Georgia, Mississippi or Texas? More than likely
it will be from California. Gregg Silks has already caught 2 bass
over twenty pounds and says he has lost a world record bass of
24 pounds.
California Might Hold the Next World Record Bass
Who is to argue with him
since he knows what 20 pound plus bass look like? 22 of 25 of the
largest bass ever recorded have come from California. The next world
record bass in my opinion, is going to be from the lakes of the San
Diego water system.
Just look at the stats:
Dixon Lake: 25.1
pounds
Lake Jennings: 16.58
pounds
Lake Murray: 12.1
pounds
Lake Poway: 17.5
pounds
These are just a few of the lakes, all the lakes
hold a potential world record bass. Not only that, there are
big bass all over California, Leaha Trew caught her bass in Sonoma
County.
Taking Nothing Away from Florida
While I am not taking
anything away from Florida, as I have lived there and seen many 10
pound plus bass taken from there, California is growing bigger bass
and people are catching them.
Just check with the water
district before you plan a trip as some have restrictions and are
closed at certain times.
