Man it has really been bothering me latley, everyone on the net and in Bassmaster saying there fish was way bigger than it was. I am sure most of us on this site can usally guess the weight relitivly close, but the people in some mags and sites oviously can't. Don't think I am writing this post because I catch a ton of huge fish because I don't. I am just really annoied when I open my bassmaster and see a "18lber" or the current worst one which is the bottom left corner which is "11.2" and I would say there is no way it's bigger than 8. I think I will send a pic of a 2lber into bassmaster and call it 10.00 and I am pretty sure they will print it. What is up w/ bassmaster dont they have any qualifications I see alot of fish that are not even close to 10 in the trophy page. And many sites excluding Calfishing people will post pics all the time of fish they say are mabey 5lbs and are not even 3lbs, and if you say something everyone flips out. I always weigh all my fish and if I dont I will just post the pic w/ out a weight. I am not aiming this post at anyone just had to get it off my mind since it has been bugging me.
