This is going to blow up in all our faces. The more info that comes out, the more unethical this all sounds. This is not a good portrayal of bassfishermen. I commend them for releasing the fish(even if it was because they thought they couldn't get the record). But now they need to let the record go again, and not petition for the IGFA to recognize it. This will only cause us all more grief.
