Location: NE Wisconsin | Great pics of a great fish. But only 18 sec of video. Come on let loose of the rest. It also must be great! A fish like that is all our dreams. |

| That fish swimming away reminds me of a big prize hog waddle-running from a pesky dog. |

| Don't know if I'm posting this link correctly, may have to copy and paste into your browser. Pretty decent discussion with the anglers on an outdoor show on the radio.

Location: Hayward, Wisconsin | A couple of problems with that article; That Mr. Block believes that the Modern Day World Record is the true world record, is in my belief is correct and his decision. The IGFA WR has been shown/proven to be less than claimed as has the NFWFHF "record".
Secondly, the current IGFA release record is 56 inches, not 52 inches. IGFA goes by length only, however that fish caught by Dr. Mark Carlson was weighed on an IGFA certified scale at 55 pounds. Girth was not taken. A photo of the fish on an official IGFA bump board (necessary to qualify for their record) has appeared on this message board in the past.
At any rate, this may not be over yet, so stay tuned next week!! |

Location: Northern Illinois | So I'm just thinking of a what if scenario. Let's say you Larry and a couple others from the MDMWR program are fishing together. Someone in the group catches an absolute monster. You also happen to be at a spot that has a certified scale just on land which is 50 feet away. The fish gets weighed and you and the others witness it to be the current World Record. The person then decides because of how well the fish is doing he/she is going to release it. The fish would not count as the record because of not being kept? Trying to understand all of this.
Thanks and what a catch! |
