Do you guys really think MLF/BPT are in any kind of hurry to post that photo (if one exists) on a fishing forum? I am genuinely curious as to why they would not want to generate that type of buzz early on in the event. Increased boat traffic?

Due to corona fears many are doing staycations and are already there. I stayed there all week and it was about the busiest spring break I have seen in years. The RV parks are full and people are there. I figure just mentioning it on their live broadcast is gonna do that.

Until a photo is posted or someone says they saw the photo... its just sounds like a fish story. I actually hope its true.

I'm just glad they are showing how special that lake is. Despite the rumors its still a place to go to catch some big ones.

I wonder if it died and they are trying to avoid the bad press?

I don't mind the fact that it wasn't donated either , those really big ones just look like mutants. Cool to see them.
I can honestly say that I would take some photos , weight and measurements for myself and release as well.
I would imagine his sponsors would like some pix too. Hopefully they took a few. Definite fish of a lifetime. So far the old lake is showing up today as still one of the best for big fish out there. Mark she is and I eat crow like I said in other post. But man the lake sure does fish tough for me now in the late fall and winter. Guess I have to wipe my memory and restart......glad to see my favorite lake still healthy even without grass. As far as the 16 lber if the angler wanted it not posted then it never should have been and this post should be pulled down. The secrecy is strange......although do the rules state the anglers are not supposed to share any info on their catches? If so that could be in play and if so why don’t they just say that?

I can’t imagine they would lie on a live broadcast about something like this. The damage control would need to be otherworldly. I think the fish was caught, and there are pictures, and they are waiting until after the weekend to show pictures so the lake doesn’t become more crowded, whether that’s smart or not.

So why announce it on live broadcast lol. Makes zero sense and I don’t think fork in the spring can get more crowded like what mark said.

I'm with Barrett, until I see a picture that looks like a 16 lbr I'm calling bs.
