These guys fish this lake up to 5 times a week and have done so for several years. Most of us fish in hopes of just catching a double digit fish, these guys fish knowing that each time there lure hits the water they are within a few hundred yards of a world record bass. This 75 acre lake has already produced bass in excess of 21 pounds. I find it odd that he caught a bass that weigh 25.1 lbs and did everything he was suppose to do but weigh it on certified scales. These guys new the rules but failed to complete the most routine task and that was to get the fish certified. Why would you release the fish prior to doing this? Why give up a million plus dollar check which is what a world record would be worth. IMHO its like the others that claimed they caught the world record, something aint right. Remember these were no amatures they have been in pursuit of the world record for a long time, why blow it by not getting the weight cerified. You can bet if it was the real deal he would have done everything by the book.
