We reported back in March that Wyatt Frankens had caught the Texas state record smallmouth/largemouth hybrid bass out of O.H. Ivie. He submitted paperwork in March, and yesterday, he received his certification from the IGFA that his catch is indeed the new world record for smallmouth x largemouth hybrid bass.

Frankens shared the news last night on his Facebook page.
