Four months after catching the largemouth bass of a lifetime, Lea Anne Powell can now officially say she is a world-record holder.
While fishing with a friend who is a fishing guide, Powell caught a 12-pound largemouth bass out of O.H. Ivie Lake in Texas on Feb. 28, and she confirmed to KETK on Tuesday that the International Game Fish Association verified it as a 12-pound line-class world record in the women’s category.
