I thought you would have something to say about the guy that kept his new "record" fish. Ignorant people don't realize a picture, measurements and let it go can produce a beautiful mount and not kill the fish. A skin mount is not nearly as good as a fiberglass mount these days. Too bad somebody didn't help him make a better choice. Poor 50+ year old fish.
I can see from your avatar you don't have a problem keeping a large fish when it suits you.
You and TJ don't need to portray your personal ethics on the fisherman. What this guy did was perfectly legal and required by law to submit this record catch.
