Congrats to...whom ever!!!!

You are wrong on that. I've released two 49's on the same day 20 minutes apart (boat fish/Miacomet/jigs/october 96), and I fish with a guy who set free a 48, 54, and 56 from the beach all in the same night. Whether you believe it or not is of no significance to me.

Furthermore, the need to kill fish to "confirm" your achievement indicates that the achievement itself is insufficent, rather what you are fishing for is praise and recognition from others, not just fish or food. If you need that, and that's part of why you fish, well then so be it, though most good fisherman eventually grow out of that phase. Enough said.
