What a fish. May even be a tackle record looking at the setups in the picture. Hope they released it as it has to be breeding stock.
Wow! What a freak of nature!

Holy Moly what a fish! I would have a hard time holding a live fish that dang big!
Looks like it would weigh a lot more than that!
Well gahahallleee (enunciated as if Gomer Pyle was speaking)! That is a monster. Hope they had a gaff hook to bring that one in to the boat! That thing is absolutely huge...no wonder it's a new record! Way to go out there!

I think he beat our guys'previous record by less than 1oz. I was under the impression that the IGFA required records be be broken by 2oz or more?
Set in 2011

I had heard a big fish was caught in VA.last year,but never heard the official weight. We'll have to check with IGFA. Still a once in a lifetime fish though.

What do they do if it is less than 2 Oz, call it tied for the record?
Great photo of a great fish. It is not stagnate like so many photos. I have gone back and looked at it several times.
