Hey, that's not cool. You broke my State Record and I didn't even realize it. Oh well, I still own the State Record on the fly rod. So I guess it's safe until you take up fly fishing, LOL

Just kidding, Congratulations Mike. Those were some monsters you were catching and posting pictures of. I bet you will catch an even bigger one in the spring.

Congrats on the Elite Angler and 6th big fish award as well thumb

Not only does it take "luck" to catch a record fish... it takes a lot of skill, preparation, attention to detail, dedication, and paperwork to get a record. Congratulations.
