[quote Bigphilj]The angler who caught the world record, might not be interested in the record -PBH. Thats the problem any more everyone is so intent on being the best and having their name in a book. Just like big game the first thing people ask is- what's the score. I'm not nocking anyone who gets their records scored and measured. Just be prepared for those few people to discredit you and and your prize. (I would have kept it) That said I would be interested in some of our states records. They have no girth/length listed. Who accepted them as records. You think the state record cutthroat was verified on a proper scale? Did you even need a witness to the measurements being taken? What about pictures?[/quote
Wow I couldn't agree more. I think that when it comes to a new state record fish it should be weighed, identified,and measured by th Utah DWR. If you can't trust them to be non-biased and legal who can you trust. I have often wondered about some of our state records. I question some of the angling methods on some of them also.
