World Record Bass

The largest large mouth bass in the world only weighed twenty five pounds and one ounce. It was caught by Mac Weakley using a handmade white rattlesnake jig. It was caught in Dixon Lake, near Carlsbad, CA. It was questioned as the worlds largest catch because it was hooked in the side. Since the foul hooking was unintentional, though, the state regulations said that it did count.


The world record small mouth bass was caught back in 1955 by a man named David Hayes. He caught it on the Tennessee-Kentucky state line and brought it to a nearby marina, where it was weighed. It weighed eleven pounds and fifteen ounces. It was twenty seven inches long.
