DesertBull Report post Posted April 12, 2013 Congrats on the fish. Bummer they had to whine about a stupid record book. If they wanted to let the fish go they could have. Not game and fish's fault they decided not to. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ForkHorn Report post Posted April 12, 2013 I agree. Anyone chasing a record knows that death is part of the deal. The catch and release record book is there for a reason. What a great fish though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bowhuntaz1 Report post Posted April 13, 2013 I agree. Anyone chasing a record knows that death is part of the deal. The catch and release record book is there for a reason. What a great fish though! I would love to hook into something that big. 2006 Big Fish of the Year Catch and Release Urban Waters 24" long by 19 7/8" girth Red Mountain Pond I would have put her on my wall but she was full of eggs. I caught her again one month later to the day on the other side of the pond. She was all scratched up from spawning. Let her go that time too, and never saw her again... This is a picture of the polaroid the game and fish biologist took sorry its grainy. attachment=53791:GetAttachment.jpg] 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
