Ive always felt Perrys weight was questionable, mostly due to the scales that were used. After Matt laid out the measurements, it definitely seems questionable. However, I think it should stand just because. Plus, if it was removed the new WR owner probably would not feel comfortable with having the record, and the new WR would always be surrounded by scandal and criticism.
And I agree, Duclos's fish looks totally legit, that fish no doubt was absolutely huge. The thing I cant figure out about that though was that Duclos was touted as a trophy hunter, yet he didnt know what the world record weighed. Thats very, very odd.
And we all know that Crupi's fish cant ever be considered for a record since DFG officials never witnessed, in person, that fish to determine it was indeed a largemouth. I know, I know, Crupis fish kinda looks like a smallmouth. Yeah right.

The one thing that has bothered me the most about the w.r. is the fact that the lake ,let alone the state hasnt produced another trophy Bass even close to the fish holding the record right now.Who knows maybe the rumors of weights in the fishes gut were true?I have seen pics of George with some nice fish, but not that nice. Tight lines, brian

Anyone seen an 11-15 smallie lately? I bet not- but it was a different place back in the day, they used to rope 100-200 lb. bluefin out of Avalon in the early 1900's, triple didgit bluefin only a short row away from the island- we're living in a different world, I would bet the farm on Perry's record. If you can explain why the triple digit crewcuts aren't going nuts on schools of chovies on the 14 mile bank, you might be able to explain the 22-4 from Georgia in 1932. ####, I bet there were Seminoles spearing bass in Florida at least that size in 1925. When's the last time you saw an angler with a 550 lb. black sea bass in Long Beach? Please explain this mystery to me
Matt, I hear you- Crupi, Danny K, that kid that got the 21 something on the leadhead trout in 91' at Castaic- lots of talent and stuff, but I still think there were better opportunities back in the day- :D
