Re: Just another fish story?
Such BS. It's a world record and fish of a lifetime. Don't ya think an exception would be okay? I would have killed that fish put it on my wall and paid the ticket 100 times over. Don't get me wrong, I've never killed a freshwater fish in my life other than some trout. I'm as strong of a supporter of freshwater conservation as you'll find but man get off the guys back (fish and game not you guys). It seems like no amazing catch comes without some kind of controversy these days. Look at John Petruescu's world record yellowfin that "didn't count" because he had to pass the rod under the anchor line on the bow of a long range boat. The people that hold these rules firmly in place like that just don't get it if you ask me. Poor guy, I feel bad for him.
