I don't know about the rest of the Castaic crew but that record won't mean much to me since it was caught in a manner that is illegal in California.
Ya, I was thinking the same thing. I actually saw guys using live bluegill at the pier about 4 months ago and they were catching a lot of BIG bass within a short amount of time. They also had like 4 or 5 lines in the water each. It was really illegal and I didn't know the number for Cal Tip but I figured they wouldn't do anything anyway, lol.

Yeah, I wish I was a DFG warden and could catch Kurita doing that at Castaic.
I would love to say to him "Smile... you're under arrest."

I guess bluegill are legal bait here in Iowa, But I don't want to just feed a fish, I want to outsmart it and catch it.

I remember reading something by one of the major trophy bass guys and basically what he said was "If you are really serious about catching a record largemouth you should consider live bait."
He was talking about the fact that many of the Castaic records have been taken on live crawdads.
Well I suppose if that's all you care about you do what you gotta do to break the record.
But I am in the same camp as Jonnie........ I wan't to fool the fish. I want the satisfaction that I sort of did this on my own, that I made the fish accept my presentation as food, not my food as presentation. As in this case without the help of a bluegill.

They should break the IGFA classifications into two categories:
1) Artificial Lures
2) Live Bait
Here's a trivia questions, what did George Perry catch his world record bass on?
On a side note, think of all of the record fish that the DEC/DEP/DNR, etc. must have come across while using electro-shocking for research...
And let's have another look at the video.

I am going to take a guess here, was it a Creek Chub Fintail Shiner?
