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

Totally Agree with you Jamie. Those were HUGE FISH! Again congratulations Mike on catching some very nice fish.  Side Note: You might want to PM or contact Bryan Russell (Fish Mounter). Your fish is a "Wall Hanger" for sure!

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.
