His brother in law probably owns a dragger, the fish is full of yoyo weights, it looks bigger because he is holding it out towards the camera, it has been dead a long time, a coyote already ate it, no way that fish ate a plug, that guy didn't earn it as it wasn't his boat, he should have released it. There, that should cover it.

I know you post was "tongue in cheek", but this fish is only 5 pounds off the world record. Still a huge accomplishment.

No boat, back in the suds.

Yes, I got the joke...but for a second, I thought I was at that place where they treat you like a king for catching the fish of a lifetime....Rodney King...

Good for him but....

Why is 73 lbs the most repetetive in lb. class near the top end?

Great fish, maybe I missed it but what was it cuaght on? bait or lure?

Just remember, if one that big got caught there are surely some bigger than that left to be caught.

I always think to myself when fishing a piece of water, "if you could see the biggest bass out here right now you would probably be amazed".

Did this fish go to market?

Well congrats Fred but do get your teeth fixed for goodness sake.

Why even try.........
