Yeah, wasn't there some guy who supposedly had the record before, but it was disputed because the area he claimed he caught it was supposedly (by some peoples standards)unfishable the night he caught it? He obviously kept the fish to prove it, but I think the story goes that people began spreading rumors that a buddy of his had given him the fish after it was netted form a commercial vessel. Or something like that. I think I read about it somewhere when I was all hopped up on Morphiene and Oxycontin after surgery this winter. Memories are a little fuzzy from those two days. I know I was reading "On the Run" while I was in the hospital, but I'm not sure if that is where I read it. I'm sure somebody on here knows the story.

I know there was a gillnetter out of Scituate that tried to pull a stunt like that in 96 or 97 and got caught. Maybe that is the story, but I'm sure there are a bunch like that.
