Hey Alby. Just out of interest mate why do ya think this was photoshopped? I find the quality of the pic strange. Compressed right down. Thats usually a trick used to cover up any evidence of manipulation.

Or maybe youre just havin a larf :lol:

id say you would have a hard time holding a 35lb fish out to the camera like that. try holding a 35lb tope with your arms out straight and you will know what i mean

big fish alright but doubt its anywhere near 35lb ,,, from the pic its obvious its held at arms lenght to make it look bigger and the pic looks compressed , but only the backround, the fish is clear ,, just my view on it , fair play to him if its real

umm...looks abit iffie to me infairnous...think if it was the real mccoy the tail would have alot more wear...i find with the biigger bass iv seen the tail has almost always taken a hammering,i remember catching a roughly 12lb fish a few years back & half the bottom part of the tail was gone & seeing another fish of similar similar size the tail was completely white..

lads 35lb is 15kg if you cant hold 15kg out at arms lenght you must be seriously weak!! but as mentioned the pic does seem a bit weird when you look at it

Looks like he has 35Ib fingers too..! Always a dead giveaway. Look up a 35Ib Cod/Pike pic and see how the lads hold them up. With great difficulty, certainly not arms out straight. Nice Bass im sure but if this is a 35Ib bass then I am catching double figure bass every couple of weeks..! :-)
Top 3 lure caught bass 2017 :
10Ib 5 oz
9Ib 2oz
8Ib 11oz
