Great fish and a well executed plan to get the state record.

That's an incredible fish, and an even more incredible catch and release story.  19" around just seems crazy.  That's beyond football.  That's like a midget basketball with fins.

Pretty fish!  Nice work.

[A-Jay]

Impressive for sure.

Takes the term Fatty to a whole new level.

"The anglers had a goal of making a documentary out of their quest, so they brought multiple video cameras along. They captured everything, from the catch to the release, so they’ll be releasing video once they have a chance to go through the footage and edit it"

I'll be very interested to check out their video once it's ready.

Congrats to The New Record Holder.
