3267, Fish size....Density
Posted by Carrot Top, Sat Nov-22-03 01:11 PM
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.

Gotta be a typo.
Cameron (socalfrogger) Smith's back seater caught the fish. There's a pic of it at:

Great fish, totally fat and healthy, but probably not 31" girth :)

Maybe it was the girth of the guy who caught it??? Nah, it would have been a bit higher, never mind...;-)
