That's because that's not me in the picture. If you read the entire post that is a guy name Ira who caught the fish. I posted here though because the pond is my old families ranch pond which is a fishery that I have been managing since 1997.
I'm older however I have got to finish college though.

The record 18 pound fish caught out of New Melones during the same year was only 1 inch longer than this fish and that was certified as official record largemouth for being caught in a tournament. Although that fish was much fatter. I have got to call Ira and find the girth then I'm going to use the length girth formula and calculate the authentic weight. Iras personnel best was a 13 pound fish out of the California Delta and this fish was the same size possibly bigger.
What the hell is wrong with yall? Is no one nice anymore? I thought fishermen were better than this.

I have been having problems posting pictures and you think that is a photo shop fish?
For the most part the technology does not exist for that in Calaveras country California. I would say half the people have not got DSL.Ira is kind of doing a Roland Martin (holding the fish out and away from his body). However to have a good estimate of how big the fish is look at Ira's hand compared to the mouth. That fish could possibly fit two fist in its mouth. One fist (or a fister) is normally a 5 pounder and over.
Actually being a small water way I know this fish (just had not caught it in a long while). This fish is one I stocked as brood stock for the Florida strain bass when it was officially weighted a 7 pounds. That was about in 2001 when it was 21 inches. Officially the weight is guess until I use the length girth formula.
