His fish, he caught it.
Keep it, release it, mount it, eat it. Whatever.
And you can see snow in the background on another pic that's not shown here.
I say, WTG dude!

Could’ve been our new state record in a few years if she was returned to the lake. Hope she doesn’t die.

Wish it worked that way. Teens have spawned thousands of fry in their lifetime.

A state record is a freak of nature, comparable to a 7ft tall person.

Haven’t seen anything posted about the fish being in Athens on the Sharelunker site.
Also...where’s all the snow and ice in the pic? If it was caught in the last few days, I question the pics.
Either way it’s a nice fish for sure. It was caught Friday, see had little snow here and it was melted off Friday afternoon. They had the date wrong in the pic and I believe it to be legit, especially after seeing the pic at the ramp, fish is big and healthy and snow amount is in line with whet I had here at my house and I can see Elm creek Marina from my porch.

TPWD has certified the fish at 16.40 pounds! They are giving her a rest now before they take length & girth measurements. Congrats to the lucky angler!! ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2021/02/full-19947-86159-9e6088fc_aa1a_432d_ba52_da5527355ce4.jpeg)

Wish it worked that way. Teens have spawned thousands of fry in their lifetime. Exactly. And 99.9% of those fry will never weight 16+ lbs. SAL is good for stocking our lakes with great genetics but if we continue to remove all these freaks of nature we’ll never see a 18-20 lb fish. I’m not bashing anyone for donating their fish, it would be a tough decision if I was ever lucky enough to catch a 13lb plus fish.

Hell of a fish, congrats to the angler. His choice to donate, eat or mount it. Life long dream came true and beers on me for him
