I'm pretty sure that 63# George got was November 3 1981 - there is a pic of him with the fish on the wall at Nelson's, I think.

Lastly, 'while allowing the public to enjoy a unique resource' - what a statement for lawyers to turn and parse into something it doesn't mean.
You are probably right. George told me the story long ago and I probably have the dates wrong. I have not been in Nelson's since Emelo sold it. There were a bunch of us that hung out up stairs back in the day. I slept in the parking lot in my truck for a lot of years and Emelo was just the best guy.

No boat, back in the suds.
