But, the guy has a little fish scale, so he weighed it himself.  It must be true!

I caught a 21 inch large mouth over the winter, it was just over 4 pounds...

[JustOsmo]

lol 12lbs

[clayfish143]

if you look at the 5lb one under that ..its not much bigger.......maybe 71/2lb would sound better

[H.T.]

Maybe he stuffed it full of rocks 

[sull155]

those people are clearly insane, good reporting too

[FishingNewEngland]

that bass isnt 12 pounds, id say 8 or 9

20" is no way near 8-9lbs. 

[FROZEN SHINER]

those bass in the pic are no more than 3lbs there tiny

this bass was weighed on a digital scale at 4-2 your telling me the bass she is holding looks bigger than this.i could be wrong.but doubt it.where was the fish in the video.

If you read down to the bottom of the article they also stated that they would have caught a "world record" trout the other day had it not gotten away!
If thats the case I can't even count how many world record fish I have "almost " caught.

Yes. Using their scale, this 5lb. bass would weigh at least 20!
