I was told that the record was broken yesterday at lake Dunn. I figured it was bs but a friend of mine called the park ranger at Village Creek and spoke to the warden that weighted the fish. I was told it was 16 pounds 8 ounces. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/eek.gif
A buddy of mine sent me this pic which he was told this fish was 16-1. I'm guessin this is tha pig in contention for the title

Looks like it may have been caught on a Real Deal jig from the bank http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif

I questioned my buddy about HIS source but he swears that's it! That's a pig but after looking at that pic multiple times and comparing it to others that fish don't look 16 to me???
Its a big bass, no doubt. But, I'd think in the 11 or 12 range..
Not trying to stir the pot but that picture was posted on bassmaster.com a little while ago. I'm not skeptical that a record was caught, just that the pic is legitimate.
PLUS...you can clearly see a black/blue jig in the fish's mouth in this picture.

On Tuesday, Paul Crowder of Forrest City set the new record on Lake Dunn near Wynne. CrowderÂs lunker weighed 16 pounds 5 ounces, breaking the old record by just a single ounce.
Aaron Mardis of Memphis had held the state record since March 2, 1976. Mardis 16 pound 4 ounce fish was caught on Mallard Lake near Manilla in Mississippi County.
Crowder broke the record on the afternoon of Feb. 28 using a plastic 6-inch MannÂs jelly worm with a bullet sinker and plastic rattle in tequila sunrise. He was using an Enigma rod and reel combo purchased from Bass Pro Shops. Crowder caught the fish on Trilene 14-pound test line. Arkansas Game and Fish Commission Fisheries Biologist Lee Holt certified the fish on a certified scale at Hayes Market in Wynne.
The fish measured 26½ inches in length and was 22¾ inches in girth. Crowder said that he had been fishing all day for catfish without any luck. ÂI made a cast and set the rod down to take a look at my catfish rods when I noticed the rod was just about out of the boat, he said. ÂI was able to grab it just before it went out of the boat, he added. It was the only fish he caught all day.
It only took about eight minutes for Crowder to reel the record into the boat. ÂI didnÂt have a net, so it took me five or six tries before I was able to lip it and get in the boat, he explained.
The 80-acre lake is located in Village Creek State Park in Cross County. The AGFC is going to test the fish to see what genetic strain of bass it is, according to Assistant Chief of Fisheries Chris Racey. ÂWe are going to take samples to determine if the fish is a pure northern strain or if it has Florida bass genetics, Racey explained.
