A new world record?

Nice fish. My only beef is that he catches a lot of big fish and kills a lot of big fish. How many do you need to kill at this point? Why not only keep what would be close to beating your own record at this point? What else is left to prove?

I agree but its within his right to keep em, as of now at least. That guy knows how to go large for sure. If i were to catch a world record and keep it i think everything else would swim away. Unless of course i was fishing a tournament like the striper cup.

I think its just my mentality but when i get a large fish i am frantic trying to get that thing back in the water. As soon as i see the fish i go into a half panic on getting it back in the water healthy. I take more of an ass woopin in the surf releasing than i ever do catching.

My views on catch and release aside, congrats to Greg.
