In February 1975, Walter Bolonis caught a 15-pound largemouth bass through the ice in Southeastern Massachusetts, setting a seemingly unbreakable state record. Yet, many questions surround this catch, questions that professional bass fisherman and podcaster Mark Burgess of Big East Bass Fishing has been trying to answer.


In this episode, Jimmy and Cheech sit down with Mark and discuss what it's like being a pro bass angler from Massachusetts, the story behind that 15-pound bass, and whether or not it could ever be broken legitimately.
