Was reading this story this morning, epic.

the craxy thing is its not even a compound bow or actually reel, like the guys use on carp and on tv.

a recurve bow, with a hand line spool.

the scales on it are massive, and the head and teeth are just crazy

Like the saying goes:

Don't mess with Texas!

About as sporting as shooting a cow in a field. What a waste. Like the sturgeon, they should be protected.

It was swimming around with 5 males perpetuating the species until that jerk off killed it.

Yeah pretty stupid. Probably not gonna mount it after dragging it to his house behind an ATV.
How about a taking a picture of it still swimming!

I do eat some fish I catch, but I agree w/ Bryan. Not sporting at all.
