Should Florida's State Record Largemouth be 20-02?

In 1923, using a Creek Chub Pikie, Fritz Friebel caught a 20-pound, 2-ounce largemouth bass from a natural lake in Pasco County, Florida. It was the first bass to be recognized as a “world’s record,” and it lasted for several years, eventually replaced by George Perry’s 22-4 in 1932 ... but there’s an argument that it should have lasted much longer.
