tiny did not see the fish- he may have talked to someone who did see it becase the fish was released before 1 p.m.- there was a tv show camera there and the dvd's are on the way- at 12:20 the fish was swimming upright in the holding pond, it was pulled from the tank, flopping around, a photo was taken with the cabela' guy and the fish was taken immediately to the lake
tiny and albert did not show up at the weigh in site for at least two hours after the fish was released
i am not saying what happened to the fish but I was standing there and the guys who released the fish said it swam away on its own
there was a 5 pound blue that when released would not swim off and another boat brought in two that were dead and not weighed
