    according to the above scale the approximate weight would have been around 77 1/2 lbs.........Holy friggin fish Batman!

    Better too far back, than too far forward.

    and probably a second pair for cleaning your shorts after it was released..........
     
    Here is a good question, If you knew a fish was the world record, would you release it?

    The weight i got off the scale on the website was 77lbs and change.  Give or take 5lbs and thats still a monster.  Look at all the monsters lee hartman and his wife caught out of that waterway.   I can't remember the other couple that fished it but combined they had 10 fish over 60lbs!!!

    Hartman and his wife caught many HAWGS there, but later admitted to padding the weight of his 67 lb 15 oz on the way to the scale. 
     
    The other couple you mentioned is Art Lawton & his wife..  Art's record also underwent and still does quite a bit of scrutiny...........Many of those fish are reported to have been netted by indians who were dynamiting for the pilings.   Still a pile of hogs in that water.

    Yep a 77lber would go home.  The season was in at that time.w_w.

    If it has fins and gills, I'm there.
