Bradleyville Man Reels in Record-breaking Bass
Early on a July 13 2008 morning on Bull Shoals Lake, Greg Blair reeled in a 56 pound, 4 foot long striped bass.
After the Conservation Department weighed it, he found out it beat the old state record by 5 pounds.
The same day his cousin lured in a 35 pound striped bass in the same spot.
The record breaking bass is at, where else, Bass Pro right now.
Taxidermists are making two replicas, one to hang in the store, the other for Blair.
It took him 50 minutes to reel it in.
