Me too Willie........

May as well say it,dont think she will be caught again,it's on inland fisheries site,samples were sent off for age analysis ..

belter of a fish well done to that man

That bass picked the wrong hook so.......good night Vienna..............

You only need a scale for age verification I thought?

Lovely fish there! At least it wasn't caught in a drift net or any other illegal means. Pity about the bitter tone to some of the comments so far.

Really nice fish.

That fella must be an international front row... For me the fish doesn't look 16.5lbs..

i agree kevin iv had a 12lber and it looked longer than that .but maybe that one is stuffed with roe

Always a consideration Derek, but I think this one was caught during the summer...

It's always hard to tell, but I suppose the Specimen fish committee are involvde so perhaps the fish was weighted on land with a certified scales If so, then he is an International Front Row and should forever have a normal sized fella beside him for pictures, so his fish don't look too small....
