Even so, a 20lb bass can gain 2 or 3lbs in one feeding.
But my theory is that they couldve dislocated her lower jaw when she weighed 25lbs. I cringed when they clamped the scales to her lip to weigh her. Now I dont blame them, that fish was the biggest bass ever seen, but thats a lot of weight on that jaw.

Regardless, that was a great show.
Man thats a great point about the lower jaw. It pains me to see guys holding large fish horizontal and stressing their jaw.
I know these guys didn't do that I saw the show as well.
