Ok I just saw this on the bassmaster website
-----------
California Federation giant

In the recent California BASS Federation State Classic, the California Delta surrendered the largest bass ever caught in a Federation event in the Golden State.

A 13.44-pound largemouth was caught by Danny Batinich, who was using a drop-shot rig with 20-pound test Berkley FireLine and a 4-inch Roboworm. The bass measured 27 inches in length and 31 inches in girth.

------------
Now wasn't Mike Long's 20 lbr 27 by 27? This fish was the same length but 4 inches bigger in girth and weighed 7 pounds less. I guess I'm just at a loss for how a fish with 4 inches more in girth could weigh significantly less?

Any opinions? The first thing that pops into mind is a typo on the size of of the girth.
