I think it is interesting that though there is some speculation about the claimed WR for largemouth bass, oddly enough, the fish that was claimed is right at the top end of what seems to be attainable bass growth.

I am guessing the world record for musky is also pinned right at that spot, around 70 lbs.

The first two pics I saw didn't do the fish justice. This one tells more I think, and this is a 29-31" fish or so, not sure what the conversion is. I have caught 28" largemouth, but they were filled out somewhat differently. This is also a big deep headed fish, but it looks like a tiny head in proportion to the body. Quite a fish.

Great fish, too bad it can only be considered a tie at most, since its not even over 1 oz bigger then current WR and it needs to be more then 2 oz to be considered new record.
