“I didn't want to lay it (the bass) on the dock and have it stressed more than it was,” Weakley said. “People can take it for what it's worth. That's just how it is.”

I dont know think about it! Its not like your picking up a 3 pounder and adding 22 pounds to it. The fishes jaw is larger, thicker, and built to and for the size of the fish.
HOW MANY FISH HAVE YOU LIPPED? DO YOU THINK YOU DIDNT STRESS THEM OUT BY LIPPING THEM?
And about all the crap about letting it go. The man did what he did rather if it was for a reason or not. There is not a one of you who knows because you were not there. It wouldnt matter if the state of california got 5000 letters in the mail or not if they submit it and it goes nobody is going to change it.
