Sowbelly: The Obsessive Quest for the World-Record Largemouth

Sowbelly: The Obsessive Quest for the World-Record Largemouth Bass

In 1932, a farmer named George Washington Perry decided it was too rainy to plow and went fishing. That day, George landed the largest largemouth ever recordedâ€”twenty-two pounds four ounces. The fish has inspired and frustrated hundreds of anglers for decades. Theyâ€™ve dedicated their lives to the pursuit of â€œSowbellyâ€â€”a nearly mythical fish, whose swinelike girth holds the key to their dreams.
From an L.A. cop who came within ounces of besting the record to an Alabaman who has lost his marriage and his daughter to this pursuit, Burke takes readers along for the ride in this legendary race.
