World Record Bass | Part 1

One of the great things about fishing is the unknown, but when meeting up with Paul Bailey and Matt Newman I'm sure we'll catch big bass every time. On this special episode of Stoked On Fishing, Paul Bailey catches a potential world record bass while fishing Lake Berryessa and Clear Lake throwing big baits for bass.

*Love St. Croix enjoyable.fishing recommend . Great action. Very enjoyable rod to use. I matched it with a Quantium Catalyst reel and together it works great. *

"One of the best things about fishing is the unknown" says the Fisherman with a High Quality Echolot(Sonar) on Board :D

[nickklink]

Imagine what 1rod1reel's reaction would be if he caught that fish..

[STANLEYBRICKS]

"Thats a 7lber. Ehhh.... More like a Tree or Four".

Most underrated spontaneous joke of the Decade.

Every fish they catch they're like fuck your jaw"

[frankjulian]

Congratulations on putting her back. You deserve a Sportsman World Record forget the IGFA rules. You showed true respect to the sport and fish.

[FishingPleasures]

Amazing!! Also, so glad to see you guys respect the fish by releasing it. A world record is neat, but not worth the life of such an amazing specimen. Kudos! Enjoyed this video. Beautiful landscapes there as well.

That bass lookin like me going back for my 6th plate at Thanksgiving

[Basschaplain]

Just to add some clarity to you guys telling us the Largemouth World record. These guys are talking about the "Spotted Bass" World record, not the Largemouth record.

Just a tip on holding fish by the lip, you can easily break their jaw by holding it like at 10:00, just make sure to have a support hand or hold your hand straight up over the fish. They can't feed properly once their jaw breaks

[Irelandrbi]

Best part of this video is just how truly excited all of you are. That beats a record any day. Bonus- fish was released to grow bigger!!!!

Edit: Wow 14 Likes I’ve never had more than 2 thanks guys

[scottarivett]

Big ups on the release guys. You waived hundreds of thousands of dollars in endorsements and prizes to do that. The lure company should come through on it anyway if they haven’t. That was epic.

[ubbme]

Wow, incredible! Im glad you took the high road and released the fish. BTW, most decent bait and tackle shops will have an IGFA certified scale. You also need to have 50 feet or so of the line that you used to catch the fish. This is so they can test for line strength as some records have line strength associated with them. And you should take pictures from different angles with an object to compare with the fish. Also take measurements, length and girth. Awesome fish.

I'm a devoted carp fisherman from the UK. You guys have shit loads of mega uncaught carp over there. Making the US probably rhe best destination for carp fishing, shame you guys view them as trash fish. Maybe its because you have so much more variety in what you can fish for. Catching carp in the UK can be pretty hard cause they've all been caught before and are pretty wise when it comes to not falling for our rigs and baits etc. If I was younger and healthier I would definitely head over their, as your fish and lakes are just stunningly beautiful. Great fishing and video btw. All the best from the UK.

nice fishing, The reaction when you catch a big one is priceless, living here in Florida, we catch that size daily, really good camera work.
