Default UNBELIEVABLE!!

I just saw an actual picture of a largemouth bass from a 10 acre lake in Franklin county that was unbelievable.
44 inches long, and actual weight 18 pounds. It was found floating on top of the water dead.
Game wardens positively ID'ed the fish, and estimated live weight at 19-20#.
The landowner is planning on having the fish mounted if possible.
I wish I could get a pic to post. If I do, you'll see it here

Cool Ahem.

Ahem. (or is that amen?) Oh yea of little faith, can't you see this was posted by the preacher man? You gotta believe brother, you just gotta believe! You don't need a photo to believe, now do you .............

Yep, I'll probably burn for that one.

Then again, this might be another faked hog or gator shot. Heck I don't care, beats UFO sightings. UFO ........... Unidentifed Fishy Object?

Sorry, more burning coming

Sounds like a Texas story, where truth never gets in the way of a good story. And where preacher men are known to lie.
By the way, I actually caught the fish and attempted to catch and release. Just goes to show that no good deed.....
I want a picture to refresh my memory.

Possibly, I do most of my business in Lavonia and Carnesville. I saw a post to this effect on the GON board but never saw a pic. I'm more than curious. Hope you can get it to post.

During the spring, when that thing is full of eggs, I wouldn't doubt it if it was close to the world record.
