@GrippinLipps I read the story a while back in field and stream it was real but the fish was false hooked/ snagged and then was found the next spawning season dead. it was real!!
@NorthernFisher092909 man, the live bluegill bass from japan was caught like a year or 2 ago not 2 weeks ago, It was caught on live bluegill by Manubu kurita from japan in Lake Biwa Japan
JED DICKERSON" If i dont catch her i dont want no one to catch it" What a fucking jackass did you breed her and grow her up into a world record bass? NO! you happen to be on the lake when she was spawning and you saw her. Doesnt make her your fish. Im glad you snagged her and lost the world record you dont deserve it. mac weakley your a cool guy i wish you had landed her bro!
Catch and release is great. Fish fattened up on stocked fish fry is fine too. But catching fish off of spawning beds? Seriously? It's usually frowned upon and in some states banned. Just what about that do they think is 'sporting'? Foul catching too? When you jig fish for females off spawning beds you'll do that way more often and kill more fish in the process. I wouldn't consider any fish caught in the way a 'record'. Put an asterisk next to it in the record books.
@dottybass57 Would you consider a fish caught with live bait a record? thats how Manabu Kurita of Japan cought the record tieing fish. In my opinion a fish caught on live bait should not be allowed into the record books. It takes zero skill. The fish is obviously going to eat it because it is REAL. Its not a rubber lure that you have to trick the fish into believing its real with skill.
@Mrjalapenothethird Catching bass during spawn and with live bait is very skillful. You still have to trick the bass to take your bait on a bed. Not to mention giant females are the hardest to catch on a bed. Also fishing with live bait doesnt make anything easier.. You still have to get the bait where the fish are. Cant just throw it out and expect it to be that easy. I think throwing a senko will catch you more bass than a big live bluegill will.
@GrippinLipps You may catch more small bass but definitaly not more larger ones. I have personally seen people use live bluegill and they catch big bass everytime in a matter of minutes. What takes even more skill is catching spawning bass with something like a swimbait or a jig. There is not an arguement that catching bass with lures is easier than using live bait . WIth a lure you have to locate the bass, cast to it, make the hunk of metal and plastic look like a fish, then hook the fish...
He has a good point. i am 100% catch and release and i would have hated to see someone catch and register her as the world record then reward the beautiful fish by putting her up on their wall. She died naturally and not from a careless person seeing dollar signs
They leave out of the story the fact that these bass are a fast growing species that were relocated from Florida to specific lakes in California including Lake Dixon.
They also leave out the fact that Lake Dixon is stocked with huge amounts baitfish every year which is the reason that the bass get so large - they're feeding on captive raised baitfish that are released into Dixon by the state wildlife department.
They are the largest largemouth bass in USA, but it's NOT natural.
@forthedefence81 I personally think any world record Largemouth caught in Kommiefornia should be immediately disqualified due to the bs methods that they use to target a particular fish. The Largemouth Bass is and always will be a "southern thang" and it should remain that way.
@Gingifluff Nope the largemouth is not a "Southern thang" it's not even a "American thang", its more of a "worldwide thang", it can be found in Mexico, Cuba, Korea, Japan, South Africa, North Africa, Spain, Germany, Philippines, China, Brazil, Guatemala, and a bunch of other places. And what methods are you talking about? Just go back to your jug fishing and let us Kommiefornias show you how catching big bass is done, have fun with your 5lb'ers.
@turkey2003 Yeah but there different types of Bass the large Mouth a native in North america Yes it a nation way thing too in the U.S but in the southern states it's what there knowed for
@forthedefence81 Yeah these are the Florida sub species of fish but so what? Most bass stocked anywhere in the U.S. since the 1970's are. Second lake Dixon is NOT stocked with baitfish, I don't know where you got this info from? It is stocked with trout but they are stocked for fisherman not the bass, the fish and game department hates it when the bass eat these fish because they are expensive and actually quit stocking some lakes because bass were eating too many of them.
My friend chris and i caught a 22lb bass in south Fla. we took turns reeling it in for almost 20 mins.He has a picture of it on a digital scale borrowed from his neighbor.So there are still monsters out there.The reason there are monster bass in Cali is because fishermen took fish from Fla. and brought them there by plane!!!
Lake Harding in Harris County, Georgia has a World Record Bass. I seen this fish feeding at 4:30 am while Catfishing from the dock. The Mouth on this Bass was so huge that half of it stuck out of the water as she swooped up Shad. I put her at least 30 lbs if not bigger.She frequently returns always at the same time 3:30 to 4:30 and then by 5:00 she is done feeding.
The record doesnt seem all that impressive if you keep fishing for the same fish in the same lake that you've caught before and you know its in there.
@ruscccpsia2010 Not impressive? the fact that it has been hooked before makes it all the more impressive. now the big girl is hook shy. foul hooked or not they got the record in my book.
Those guys are awesome. At least they didn't lie about foul hooking it. They could have easily taken the world record, must have been a tough decision. That fish was DIESAL!
i understand why they were relieved, but at the same time, its gotta be like having a dream right on the tips of your fingers and then watching it fly right out the window!! :( she was beautiful!
there is a reservoir that i know and a story that when they drained the reservoir one time there were all sorts of fish and there was a bass that was so big they weighed it and it was like 58 pounds and they cooked it then they saw that the bass was worth a million bucks. so yea theres monsters bigger than dotty out there.
Fantastic effort. My only comment is that when weighing a fish that large, holding it up by it's mouth is potentialy dangerous for the fish. It could cause a life threatening injury. 25 lbs is a lot of weight to be supported by a small area of it's mouth.
it may be possible that THEY infact killed the fish. when you handle a fish over 10 pounds you need to support its belly or else you can dislocate its jaw so the fish cant eaT
respect to these guys. They know what they are doing, the are completely committed, they give it their all and love what they are doing. That is awesome. I would have loved to see them get that pig...but nature runs its course. They will find another.
nice video but something fishy bout the story im no pro and have yet to foul hook a bedding bass you just have to wait till it carrys it off the bed you just have to wait if not today maybe tomarrow and now you guys opened a whole can of worms on yourselves.
You guys are crazy for admitting that fish was foul hooked! Now a panfaced zipper-head owns the record and you guys are still at your day jobs. Sucks- honesty does not pay!
@SilverBullet22250 Would you rather some knuckle head that put no time at all in it, get the record that has been chased since Perry got it ? This guy let it go when he caught it before, and was honest enough to say he foul hooked it after it was big enough to beat the record. The only 'jerkish' thing here is the comment you made.
@SilverBullet22250 Sad that some people who cant catch a minnow need to comment like this, What it's selfish to like your fishing and do it well. If the rules say you can catch fish while they are on the spawn, go get em,, but hay jerks are born everyday so we see your problem,, He didn't make me look bad, just people who cant catch a minnow
@GrippinLipps Mike Long also holds the Diamond Valley lake record. Its only 16.43 now, but I gurantee the next world record will come from Diamond Valley lake
@lcmorgan1221 Ill give this situation the benefit of the doubt and call this bass a florida strain, which grow about 2~3 pounds per year. The avereage life span of a bass is around 15 years. so dotty was prolly around 13. She was also carrying a retarded amount of weight for a fish, being around 3 pounds heavier than the next biggest bass ever caught. So she wasnt going to live a long life anyways. the fact she got caught 3 times didnt kill her, the fact she was fat as shit did
this guy is a total prick, he isn't even trying to have other people fish for the bass. he wants to hold it for him. stay at home with your fucking family. the fish was foul hooked because he casted on a god damn spawn bed. that isn't fishing, you sat and disturbed a fish trying to lay fucking eggs. you dumb fuck.
HE WAS A HONEST GUY , BECAUSE IF IT WAS SOMEONE ELSE THEY WOULD LIE SAYING THAT THE FISH TOOK THE HOOK . OR MAYBE BECAUSE HIS FRIEND WAS THERE HE COULDN,T LIE , NEVER KNOW . INTERESTING STORY.
i have seen bass that are close to that one.... my freind has a private lake.. stocked it in 1990. and he just started fishin in it.... that lake has about 60 15-20 pound bass. if you want me to upload a vid of me trollin down the lake with a fish finder showin you those giant bass than like this comment
I thought I was crazy for fishing. These guys are truly a bit insane and/or greedy to get noteriety and money from 1 bass. The guys partner is a total ass. It's a free world to fish for everyone and he hoped it died? what a selfish ass. It was a simple case of luck while experimenting with a lure there. freakin morons.
Practice catch and release everyone. They say that big fish get stressed the most, and have the biggest risk of dying. This fish was release 3 times before it dies naturally!!! Please people, get the picture, and save our sport!
THIS IS A AWSOME VIDEO, I WATCH IT OVER AND OVER. THAT IS A "HUGE" BASS..IT WAS KINDA SAD IT DIED AT THE END, BUT DOTTY WAS A STRONG,LONG LIVIN FISH AND IT WAS TIME FOR HER TO GO..RIP DOTTY, U WAS AN AMAZING FISH...
Uh, sorry, but it's NOT the same type of obsession as Michael Jordan had, who was rewarded with several hundred million dollars and worldwide fame for his obsession. This guy is losing serious time with his family to catch a damn fish...he needs to get his priorities straight.
It's crazy the aura that is around this record.....legendary only begins to describe it.I'd be happy with just a 10lb'r and these guys are chasing fish twice that size!
What makes the fish so big in that lake? I wouldn't think there'd be that much forage as the surrounding area looks pretty dry and rocky. Are they feeding on lots of trout or something?
R.I.P. dottie.. good to know she got to spawn one last time and get more genes in the lake... i wanna know why there is a gash in the top of her head.. weird
I understand the ideal hunt for dotty, what we call her here is Ironjaw. We have a pond (small lake) here locally that I have fished since i was 6. Its well know for producing very large bass. Hooked a ten pounder when i was 12 that had a bald spot on his head. Caught him again the next year same spot he weighed 14. two years later i ve hunted him daily hung him several times but can never get him to the boat hooks will not stick tried everything. Ironjaw is uncatchable, RIP Dotty
omg in kendal miami in hammocks middle school theres like a 43 lb pound bass its like 4 feet long and its a large mouth i swear if anybody lives in kendal go there now. its like 2x the size of that i hooked it wit 30lb line and it snapped it like nothing
to bad the record of 22lb 4 oz was just tied about 2 weeks ago on a live blue gill. plz someone tell me how this isnt fake

this guy is a total prick, he isn't even trying to have other people fish for the bass. he wants to hold it for him. stay at home with your fucking family. the fish was foul hooked because he casted on a god damn spawn bed. that isn't fishing, you sat and disturbed a fish trying to lay fucking eggs. you dumb fuck.

I thought I was crazy for fishing. These guys are truly a bit insane and/or greedy to get noteriety and money from 1 bass. The guys partner is a total ass. It's a free world to fish for everyone and he hoped it died? what a selfish ass. It was a simple case of luck while experimenting with a lure there. freakin morons.

Practice catch and release everyone. They say that big fish get stressed the most, and have the biggest risk of dying. This fish was release 3 times before it dies naturally!!! Please people, get the picture, and save our sport!

holy crap! That is a HUGE fish... I've been fishing for 20+ years, but damn, these guys are seriously obsessed.
tony93666 1 year ago
Uh, sorry, but it's NOT the same type of obsession as Michael Jordan had, who was rewarded with several hundred million dollars and worldwide fame for his obsession. This guy is losing serious time with his family to catch a damn fish...he needs to get his priorities straight.

It's crazy the aura that is around this record.....legendary only begins to describe it.I'd be happy with just a 10lb'r and these guys are chasing fish twice that size!

These guy's are model fishermen. They released a huge catch and fished for it everyday, I know if it was me i would have done the same exact thing
mozaris12 1 year ago
What makes the fish so big in that lake? I wouldn't think there'd be that much forage as the surrounding area looks pretty dry and rocky. Are they feeding on lots of trout or something?

I understand the ideal hunt for dotty, what we call her here is Ironjaw. We have a pond (small lake) here locally that I have fished since i was 6. Its well know for producing very large bass. Hooked a ten pounder when i was 12 that had a bald spot on his head. Caught him again the next year same spot he weighed 14. two years later i ve hunted him daily hung him several times but can never get him to the boat hooks will not stick tried everything. Ironjaw is uncatchable, RIP Dotty
