The Orange County Register has an article about the fish. It was caught on a 71/2" storm jerkbait. The lady was with her son and they thought they were stuck in the grass. Typical line for someone hooking a big fish and not knowing it. They weighed it on a Certified Boga grip (didn't know they could be certified? But what do I know. They said the boga grip only weighs in incriments of 8oz's and was probably rounded down to 22.8oz's. Thats right rounded down. Took the picture and had some witnesses' Then they released the fish, went home and looked up the weight of the current record of 22lb 4oz. They didn't even know that! I hope this goes down as not being the record cause I would not like to see the world record being caught by people such as these.......BassMan
