OutdoorLife - Justice At Last: Smallmouth Record Reset: "Justice At Last: Smallmouth Record Reset
By Doug Howlett
Allegations of added weight are judged to be false.
Apr 3, 2006
Fifty years after being pulled from the waters of Dale Hollow, David L. Hayes's 11-pound 15-ounce smallmouth has again claimed the world record for that subspecies. Hayes's bass, which measured 27 inches long and had a 212/3-inch girth, was disqualified by the International Game Fish Association (IGFA) in 1996 after allegations surfaced that a guide had stuffed 3 pounds of metal inside the fish. Hayes, now 80, was never accused of wrongdoing."
