81lb Bass?

But all this stuff still means nothing if the fish isnt opened up and reweighed. The taxidermist will probably find nothing in the fish, but what does the fish weigh if theres nothing in it?

The fish has already been weighed on a scale that has been certified.Why would it have to be reweighed?People have to stop assuming wrongdoing here and let things unfold as they would in any other scenario.

All this talk about reweighing a fish that probably has lost more weight already, question does anyone know if McReynolds had to or did have his fish opened up?

Thats the beauty of this whole situation. Too late to prove anything now... unless it was gutted on the spot.

Als fish was on display all day at a tackle shop for all to see, I Have a very good friend that saw the fish. The fish was cut and inspected but that is because berkely or some other manufacturer required that for $$$.

Actually, it was x-rayed so that Al could collect prize money from Ande... acording to our wise silverback Mike P...

Uh, no, I corrected the guy who said it was Ande. It was actually the old Garcia company, the one from Fairfield, NJ that imported Mitchell reels. He's the one who started the X-ray argument. He implied that Al's fish had to be X-rayed to be accepted as the record--when I pressed him on it, he said it was to collect the reward.

If Ande offered rewards for world records caught on Ande line, we'd have all been fishing Stren--Ande would have gone bankrupt.
