BREAKING NEWS:
Just talked to my friend Larry Kurosaki, via cell phone, after hearing the news from Eric of the Artful Angler and he has a 16 lb Largemouth Bass (28") in his live well! He caught this monster a short while ago on 6 lb tippet. The fish was caught in Castaic Lagoon, California. While this still all has to be officially verified, it seems he has a new world record! Larry is a fly fishing guide specializing in Largemouth. You may have seen Larry in the new film Bass: The Movie.
I finally got some pictures:
