Why kill that magnificent fish? Thats the second time he's caught that fish, the first time it wasn't a world record.

It was a different guy that caught the fish the first time, and it just broke the first guys line he didn't actually land it

See I saw if you get a personal best bass. you mount that bad boy so its your fish.

they do replacas nowadays with just a photograph, it would be a shame to kill that monster...even a die hard fisherman dosent have to kill anything!
