Possible new record

That's 1 big largemouth. As him putting it back was because he thought he caught the fish illegaly. Maybe just maybe he is a honest man, in which I think he is from this story. I also thought that snagging game fish was illegal. The fish must take the bait in his mouth on its own accord. I know 2 men that paid a big fine for snagging white bass. So if this fish was snagged it should have been released immediatly. But, cogratulation to the man that caught it and thanks again for putting her back.

I think snagging is only punishable if that is your intent. Fishing with a jig on the bottom says to me that these guys weren't out trying to snag a fish.

The fish was supposedly snagged in the dorsel fin, thats not to close to the mouth since its on his back. A snag is a snag. I didnt mean to run that stop sign, I didnt see it so please dont give me a ticket LOL.

Man some people just love to rain on someone else's parade, have you guys ever sight fished? If you thought you had a world record nose down on your bait would you take a chance and not set the hook? Because of the size of that fish when it nosed down they couldnt have possibly seen the jig and they thought it took the bait and set the hook. Whats the point of taking it to certified scales when California law states it must be hooked in the mouth? IGFA rules also follow local regs.They knew it wouldnt count and released it
