Those are huge. I’ve never caught one over 4lbs but I’m not a great fisherman, especially bass!

I caught those two suckers using X-large live minnows, fishing in a golf course pond when we lived in Brenham, Texas. My family played golf and I fished. I had both mounted but they burned up in a house fire in 1996, along with some duck mounts.

Ho hum.... settle down folks. Yes, beautiful fish but all this should just help you understand just how amazing it is that California anglers have bagged more than 20 bass weighing more than 20lbs. Texas has a long way to before they can say bass are bigger in Texas!

Wow, Hack. A house fire is one of my biggest fears. So glad you survived…🐟on

Here’s one from a lake a few miles from me when we lived in Escondido.
I’ve only caught one dink bass in my life. . Dixon Lake, California


This location is probably the most obvious on the list because it has already produced a fish bigger than Perry's. Mac Weakley, along with friends Mike Winn and Jed Dickerson obsessively hunted for a huge bass named "Dottie" due to a black spot on her gill. The fish was caught two times before that and just missed the record both times.

Finally, in April of 2006 the trio caught up with Dottie again and successfully landed her. This 25-pound, 1-ounce largemouth bass would shatter Perry's record. There was just one problem. The fish was accidentally foul-hooked.

The anglers thought this detail would mean the record would not count. Later they found out the International Game Fish Association might have accepted the catch, but Weakley decided not to pursue it.

Dottie died a short time later and was found floating in the lake. Even though there's no chance of her breaking the record now, she spawned one final time before dying, which means her big fish genes are likely still in the lake. Because of that, it wouldn't surprise us at all if the new world record catch came from Dixon

We were lucky Dave. We were asleep and I woke up to someone banging on my front door at 1 AM. I went to answer the door and I was pissed. When I opened the door a teenage boy was yelling, telling us the house is on fire. It was in March and it was cold outside. We got out wearing what we had on and sat on the curb across the street, both of us crying while our house was totally engulfed in fire. Later, we contacted the teen and gave him $100 for saving our lives. He wouldn’t take it, but he told us he was on his way to show his girlfriend his house that had burned the week before. One of our sons had died 14 months before and we like to say he’s our guardian angel. Kinda eerie huh?
