I wish it could still be free and swimming. A fish that grows that big and lives that long should be rewarded by letting it live. I find it sad to know that they killed it. They could've tagged it and let it go and allowed it to grow even larger. It was probably still alive throughout that ordeal as long as it was wet. Thats why i release everything I catch when I fish, unless it is nonnative and then I keep it. But I want them to grow bigger and live longer. I just get a picture and thats all I want. Oh well though, nothing can be done now.
