Just to show it is possible, I know a friend who took a 48, and two fish that bottomed out his #50 Chatillion scale from the beach one night about ten years ago. No luck involved, just years of work and a unreal willingness to suffer for his fish. He released them (but has mounted other 50's in the past).

I guess I am with the majority here. I'd keep the first one, release the second. Hopefully #2 would be in decent shape after the battle.

Really, I'd let them both go. I have no clue what I would do with one 50lb fish (much less 2). I would like to have a photo, but seeing how I'm a covert guy I would have to take the pleasure of knowing that I accomplished this amazing feat. I would not kill the fish just for a photo and my freezer would not hold the meat.
