Since Kurita's bass does not exceed the weight of Perry's fish by more than 2 ounces, it is not eligible to qualify as a new world record according to IGFA regulations. Instead, if it is approved, the catch will be considered a tie with Perry's fish. :eek: :confused:

***??!! That's retarted that it has to be more than 2 oz heavier to qualify for the world record.
