Yashchenko was so ready, in fact,
that he asked officials to set the bar at
2.35 meters 7’ 8%” and his attempt at
that height was reported to be the
first ever in competition-
Yashchenko had the field beat

crowd of Americans in the stands
cheered him wildly.
“It’s exciting,” he said through an

A white bass caught in Texas waters has been included on the most
recent catalog of world records published by the National Fresh
Water Fishing Hall of Fame.
David Cordill of Spicewood near Austin caught the fish in late
March 1977 on the Colorado River below Longhorn Dam. It weighed
five pounds nine ounces and was 20 3/4 inches long with a girth of 17
inches.
It surpasses a five-pound five-ounce bass taken from Fergeson
Lake in California in 1972.
Cordill caught his world-record white bass with a white jig on a
spin cast reel and flyrod using 12-pound test line.
There are a total of 158 such world record categories for freshwater
fish.

The fish Bobby Tarter caught last August while trolling in Sabine
Pass looked like a Spanish mackerel, but it was bigger than most and
probably was a cero which grow to larger size.
Tarter took the fish to Texas Parks and Wildlife Department offices
at Seabrook and there biologist Lany McEacheron identified the
eight-pound 12-ounce fish as a Spanish mackerel, a new state record if
certified as such by fish record officials at the P&WD.
It measured 34 1 /2 inches long with a girth of 13% inches.
