David Hayes caught a world record smallmouth bass from Dale Hollow Lake in the summer of 1955. In the mid-1990s, an outdoor writer and educator named Eldon Davis challenged the record. An affidavit from 1955 surfaced, alleging that the fish had been filled with 3 pounds of weights. IGFA, the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame, and the state of Kentucky decertified Hayes’ catch.
