By the time he is 75 years old, his grand children will hear him tell about the bass that dragged his boat around the lake untill he wrestled in the monster of a life time, only to have the bass swallow the trolling motor and jump out off the boat to freedom.

I dont know if he is stretching the truth... i think that he genuinly thought it was 10lbs, because he most likely has never caught a bass above 5lbs before.. he just doesnt have good judgement on weight. when i first started bass fishing i'd catch a 3lb'er and think it was a solid 6lbs haha. It just has a lot to do with experience, once he catches more bass and bigger bass and gets a since for weight, he wont think a 5lb'er is a 10lb'er ahah.
