Is this for real....New Record?

[aku94]

In Connecticut, you can apply to receive a trophy fiah award from the DEP if your fish measures a certain length for catch and release, but you can't get the state record title for that. That can only be obtained if the affidavit is signed (by a witness if it was released, or by the person who weighed the fish). They make you include a picture of the fish as well. Weighing is to be done on a state certified scale.

I am not going to try and judge these guys since it is very probable they did catch a big fish (given the lake's pedigree). However, having as much evidence as possible is important, so let that be a lesson to anybody into catching record fish!
