It just blows me away that a guy catches a state record, a true fish of a lifetime, and all the high and mighty people on this board climb all over him for not throwing it back. Wouldn't this be a better discussion on the PETA message board???? That guy did nothing to hurt the gene pool. When a fish is that big and old, she has spawned out millions of eggs and her genetics are well dispersed throughout that waterway. I don't know who the fisherman is, but congratulations and enjoy the mount.
You're right.......
If I catch one like that, or even better than my BEST, then I'm taking it home to be mounted.....PERIOD. I pay my license, and it is my RIGHT to take it.
Also, a Biologist friend of mine said a BIG fish like that is like your GREAT, GREAT grandmother popping out a couple kids. Just because they can produce eggs, don't mean they are viable.
The genetics have already been passed down from the VERY first success spawn this fish had. Over 5-6 years, probably 5 or 6 thousand fish will survive...NOT bad.

He even stated that he was sad about not releasing the fish. No high and mighty thoughts here it's just that i agree with the angler that caught the record fish. It's a choice on what you do with your legal catch he made his and it seems he was sad with his decision. Read the article...
Read the article aggain, towards the bottom he says what he was using to catch that giant. I would tell you butt I forgot.
I can't recall the name of the guy that holds the LM record..... some guy from GA?? But man, most of the posters here must really dislike him... he ate that fish!!!
Tight lines and God Bless
