or else maybe he needs a new scale...cuz i have gotten quite a few lmb over 22" with the biggest being 23.5" in my life...I would probably say my heaviest fish might have been pushing just over 7 lbs on a good day...he has 21.75" fish that are almost 8 lbs...and he also measures the length and girth of one of his bass at 22.11" length and 17.99 girth...who measures a bass to such an exact length???? if your being picky you break it down to 1/4 inch...this guy is ridiculous!
