Did they kill this thing or keep it alive and just take the phot out of water?

The world wildlife fund and nat geographic took pics of it, I wondered if they kept it alive since they are into preserving animals lives.

THAT would be one hell of a tank buster!!

Anybody here got a tank big enough for THAT?

Or a pond?
Pool?

Sadly, a picture is not enough for most anglers...

I'm sure, from the looks of the skin being all dried out, that this record fish was not released.

Keeping a fish to eat it is one thing but keeping a fish that took god knows how many years to reach that size is quite another...

Am I at 5 posts yet so I can see all the pictures??? lol
