A world record is a world record. Weather it be law or the fisherman's personal belief (to release) I don't think a fish should have to be kept in order to gain the title of state or world record.
A fish doesn't have to be kept to be a world record. IGFA now allows other methods of verification, that allows the fish to be released.
Incredible catch! A real beaut!
DELICIOUS
Probably will die of old age before anyone catches it again,just like the 25+ lb largemouth bass that was caught and ruled ineligible because of how it was caught.It was found some time later dead from natural causes.
