At the IFGA museum there is a picture of him with his bass. I saw it myself when I went there last year. The picture looks ligit but the fish size looks close to that of Jed's fish.

The biggest bass I have seen in a picture is Paul Duclos's bass. Now he released it and weighed it on a bathroom scale to be around 24 pounds. I don't know the measurements off the top of my head, but I believe that was the record fish. So who knows someday it will fall with all the advancements in technology and SO many people out there fishing for it.
