Flatts - the record books are for RECREATIONALLY caught fish. Not commercial. Not to say that a comm guy getting an 80 pounder might try to bend the lae a little, I'm sure a sizeable percentage of recs would consider something sneaky too ...
'Course, that's why I release 99% of my keepers so that when the time comes for me to land that 88 pound behometh, I won't need to ask that question
