Back a couple years ago they did an electro-shock on fork to study the fish size and populationf and brought up 30+ bass that would beat the world record I've been around Fork for a few years. Who would "they" be??

What are the chances that someone has boated a bigger fish than the current record and due to a concern for the fishery that it came from chosen to not claim the record?

I hate being in front of a camera but damn if I am ever lucky enough to catch the WR I will gladly talk about it to anyone that wants to know!!

BIG money folks. Very private. Didn't want the notoriety.

Wow. But to each their own!! What did it weigh by chance?! Did it shatter the WR or just barely? Live bait or artificial?!!?!

It wasn't bigger than the WR. But it was bigger than Barry St. Clair's public water state record of 18.18

My bet would be on one coming from a private lake.
"..The pleasantist angling is to see the fish
Cut with her golden oars the silver stream,
And greedily devour the treacherous bait.

No need to jump on me like a liberal does President Trump Asking "Who" is hardly jumping on anybody. I know a few (hundred) folks around Fork and I am just curious. PM me. I won't "out" you.
