and with EWURM ..

IMO I would realese the fish , so it mite be there the next time hoping some one would do the same .. but on the other hand I would most certinly take photo's and have a scale set up on the boat have it certifed by my state's weight's and messure's dept . certinly I would have a replica made to. if your lookin for big fish you have to be serious .. if every one put the big one's back there would be even bigger one's and more of them ..
