Appeal the decison!! You should have called more Game Wardens, I know you guys use heavy line, 20 pound test? I would have looped a swivel around the lower lip and let them swim off 10 feet to keep them alive for the official weighing. I had no idea they did records on 3 combined fish! You should have googled how to certify the weights!!! ALL THE ANSWERS WERE AT THE TIPS OF YOUR FINGERS 😂😂😂! THAT WOMAN SOUNDED WOKE AF!!!
Here in Oklahoma it's different lol. My buddy Jeff caught the lake record flat head cat fish weighing in at 67 pounds. We called the game warden. My buddy who calls me to do state trapping shows up. I didn't know he's on call. He didn't know I was with my friend Jeff. Lol He pulled up "I should've known your with him" Lol I love fishing. I love cattle. I also love trapping. Him and I know each other pretty good. Some cattle owners do get their cattle taken. That's why he knows me. I'm a ranch originally
I caught a 17lb 1oz large mouth in California in 1993. I didn't have a camera or a scale. The game warden happened to roll up out of nowhere while i was letting the fish recover before release. It had been a 20 minute fight and the fish made 3 runs that nearly spooled me out each time. Thanks to that warden showing up and recording my catch ...i hold a California line class record to this day. Thank you Steve!🕺😎
@@tristonsanchez5041It’s because they don’t get paid enough. Raising their wages will also raise the standard they’re held to, plus they’ll actually give a damn and have some passion for their jobs so we don’t have this issue.
@@andrewbruce2607then get a different job, real simple. Think I would keep my job if I thought I didn't get paid enough and did a half ass job everyday? You have your whole life to figure it out before you except state/government job. 0 sympathy.
Just for that little thing, maybe she didnt understand what he meant, why is this such a big deal to be so triggered Edit: yall, its not that serious bruh 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
@@darrenphillips1845fire is a bit harsh maybe her phone line was bad and couldn't quite hear. Maybe she's new? Maybe she was transferred from another government department? Maybe she has special needs ? Probably the last option but still give her a break 😂
@@cplg2111usmcif they held the camera on the scale and watched it to see if it fluctuated then I don’t see how it hat is an issue. Or if it’s the type that just stops on the weight, as long as it stops on the same weight each time.
It does though. Take a scale of any sort and take a measurement on you solid floor, then take the same measurement on a couch cushion. You will have drastically different weights.
@@bc5208who is “everyone”? because if i never saw this youtube short, and sometime in the future tried to look up the record for this state/fish, you wouldn’t find this guy’s name on any “official” records
Bro should've phoned in an anonymous complaint about 2 guys fishing without a license and giving their location and hull numbers. Authorities would've been out there in no time.😂
I think California fish and game wardens have better things to do then verify records. People don’t realize how big California is and how much territory wardens have to cover. The local warden could have been over an hour away.
@@tillmen4444The warden would be in charge of a shit ton of land management and honestly idgaf about someone record fish catch that's a waste of everyone's time and only encourages bad practices.
@@ethan6627 how is that bad practice? They show up everywhere else uninvited and on any complaints, but when you need them for anything they can be bothered? Only land they manage is their driver seat
@tillmen4444 Getting record fish can be an enticing for people to then stuffy their catches with weights and debri to get the record. In addition when someone makes huge catch it can lead to a huge influx of people fishing there which is not a great thing for the location. Idc about this guy's catch and don't want tax dollars going towards verifying catches, their job is to protect the environment and to inserue people can have fun participating in fishing for generations to come. World records are irrelevant in that goal.
My former home state has been embarrassing for decades. I know little about fish, but I do know a bass is one. Even if their only job is answering the phone and then routing the call to the appropriate person or department, receptionists know at least a bit about the “business” they work for.
There was once a fisherman that had a game warden show up out of the blue and noticed he had an illegal fish he had caught earlier. When he told him he has to give him a ticket for the said fish, the fisherman told him that in reality that is his pet fish. That he comes every day during lunch and that the fish recognizes him and always swims up to his boat to be picked up. The warden was in disbelief, so the fisherman asked him if he wanted to see how well trained his pet fish really was. The warden said of course, you bet! The fisherman then releases the fish. After a couple of minutes of silence and waiting the fish doesn't return. The warden then asks, soo where's the fish??! The fisherman says what fish?
Happened here in cc,TX/Mathis,Tx. Local that lives on lake cc caught an alligator gar, 8ft 300lb. Was in the newspaper and everything back in 2013 during the summer. And now a few months ago some game warden caught a 7ft 210lb alligator gar which is now the state record apparently
If you call a fish and games department and tell them you have a world record fish and they respond "whats that" you should legally be allowed to walk into their office and get your tax dollars back. Goverment incompetence is unreal.
@@minorlover6938brother there are so many people who don't know I was walking in a somewhat dried up river with my cousin and his city friend and in the bed was a dead catfish and his friend with the so much confidence said look at that bass and I had to explain that was in fact not a badd
We know who the championship belongs too... Just because someone doesn't acknowledge your achievement, doesn't make it untrue, you sir definitely deserve the crown!!!!
He disqualified himself by weighing it on the boat it clearly states on the IGFA website the fish has to be weighed on land with a certified IGFA scale. I'm guessing he also didn't have his scale certified.
I’ve got a lake record but couldn’t send it in bc we didn’t have a scale but the old record said 5 lbs so that was an easy beat😂 my picture proves otherwise
They did this too me with a White Bass in South Dakota, it weighed in at 4 pounds 11 ounces when I caught it and beat the state record by 5 ounces, game warden could come in weigh it till 9 hours later, and it weighed 4 lbs 4 ounces , I was pissed, I still got a proud angler, just no state record :(
It wasn’t a game warden. Probably called the local offices main line and got someone that works in admin and isn’t familiar with the situation. It’s probably not a common call they receive.
@Crashmule I agree, but it's unusual that even an office employee would not know what a bass us. After all they provide information and should have a basic understanding of the enviroment.
@@leekellettjr441 He didn't even call California Department of Fish and Wildlife. They called the local non emergency number, cause that area uses the sheriff's office to dispatch the game wardens, and CHP in the area. Due to that, the dispatcher didn't know what the fuck a bass was, cause it's a dispatcher, they probably don't do any form of fishing.
@Bob-cf2ft maybe they should use our tax dollars more efficiently, richest nation in the world yet we all get shafted when it comes to public service and infrastructure
Fisherman: I caught a record bass Fish and game : what is that Fisherman : I'm snagging bass Fish and game : we are on our way to give you a ticket Fisherman : what is that
It had to have just been that the girl who picked up the phone didn’t know what she’s doing. Two world record spots have been caught at my local lake and California DFG was on top of it.
When I was 13 I missed the states Small Mouth Bass record by 1 inch. I caught it off a night crawler fishing off the shore of a small lake. Reeling it in felt like I had Jaws on the line. What a awesome moment I'll never forget. My dad had it mounted for my Christmas present that year. That was over 30 years ago.
Thats why you call them as an anonymous tip "hey these really cool looking dudes look like they're drunk driving the boat and illegally catching fish, they're on this bad ass boat.." lol
I had the same thing happen to me with a carp in the uk, it was 73lbs8oz and I called it in as a record, after months of waiting they just said it doesn’t count because it’s a foreign fish. Last time I checked it only needed to be more than 4x it’s original stock weight and it was stocked in at 15lbs. I was 14 at the time and felt crushed and rightfully cheated. My name is Jensen price and you can search it on google and find the fish I caught if ur interested at all
I went and looked Jensen. What a fish! Congratulations! I can’t believe the body on it, looks like a regular head attached to a body-builders torso 😂. That’s really awesome. Thanks for sharing that. 👍👍🎣👌
The IGFA has pretty clear guidelines for world record submission. There is not any ambiguity. Even the application for a world record is really clear on the requirements.
They never get to that stuff in a hurry, we had a vacation where we rented a cabin on a lake and a family friend had caught what was at the time a real contender for a state record rock bass. We waited a week before they came out to check it out
Same thing happened to my friend in Florida. He was a flats captain that caught a world record Permit. They screwed him too. Capt Jeff Belsik He has passed away since so he can't even finish the fight with them.
