And...

...it goes without saying that it's a damn shame this fish was killed.

[Jeffrey Silvan]

Agreed. What's more unfortunate is most state agencies don't have any sort of option for certifying a state record in a catch and release situation. More agencies need to take a page out of IGFA's book.

The West Virginia record was also recently broken. He waited four hours for state officials to show up to measure it and then watched it swim away.  The first two hours of waiting he didn't have a net and held onto the fish standing in the water.

One has to wonder if a length x girth measurement and some photos would get the job done for a record fish caught and released

I sure don't know.

Just another reason to join IGFA and get your Boga Grips certified.

My 30 lb. Boga is certified and goes with me when snakehead fishing.  It doubles as a priest when it’s time to do the deed if need be.

IGFA lets you document weights via a scale/pics, and you can have the scale certified before or after the catch to prove weight.

Rich and Jeff: 

Duly noted! Thanks!

Mark,  I think you're in the same boat I'm in.  I never catch anything worth weighing :)

 True statement.

We'll have to share that boat in a boat sometime, Carl. 

I doubt IGFA will certify this
