Guess the guy wanted the record pretty bad.  Good news for my angling quest next year!  What a yahoo!

Something is weird with the story... they should be able to get to the bottom of this.

Plain and simple, cut it open to see if it has any weights in it. If it doesn't, weigh it again. There are formulas available for estimating how much a frozen fish weighed fresh. They get you REALLY close. Freezing a fish whole doesn't get rid of that much weight, just some water weight. Oh well - sounds like the guy was full of it.

From the beginning the story was suspicious, good to see that the record fish is still swimming around somewhere.   Good Luck to all of us in the pursuit of that holy grail.

Sarge,
The guy wasn't full of it - The smallie was!! 

Lead indigestion, "I didn't know that's against the rules?"

Glad the job is going well. You can owe me later. Yes I can't wait to run the new Skeeter.

You crack me up dude. Hope the motor gets fixed fast.
