New World Record Largemouth Bass Caught

I read about this story today and it brought back a lot of memories of growing up bass fishing with my dad out various lakes in socal. The monster bass weighed in at 25lbs 1 ounce. It was caught down in San Diego county at Dixon Lake. This is a huge deal in the competitive bass fishing world. Bass fishing is big business and the angler who caught it stands to pocket some serious coin in endorsements for breaking the world record. There was also some controversy on how the bass was caught, but that will be sorted out by the IFGA. Here is a picture of the beast.
