The application for the record has been filed. The process is underway. The fish will be judged. Congrats MR Meyerson...I think you did it right.

Word is the fish,scale,tackle shop and angler have all been maligned by the OTW staff.The scale was recently certified by CT weights and measures and the fish is at NE taxidermy.

I stand by what I first posted the day it was caught...I believe he broke the record. He has caught too many big fish to fabricate a story, stuff a fish or do anything dishonest.

No boat, back in the suds.

But all this stuff still means nothing if the fish isnt opened up and reweighed. The taxidermist will probably find nothing in the fish, but what does the fish weigh if theres nothing in it?

The fish has already been weighed on a scale that has been certified.Why would it have to be reweighed?People have to stop assuming wrongdoing here and let things unfold as they would in any other scenario.

All this talk about reweighing a fish that probably has lost more weight already, question does anyone know if McReynolds had to or did have his fish opened up?

Thats the beauty of this whole situation. Too late to prove anything now... unless it was gutted on the spot.

Als fish was on display all day at a tackle shop for all to see, I Have a very good friend that saw the fish. The fish was cut and inspected but that is because berkely or some other manufacturer required that for $$$.
