I figured it would be rejected since there was no photo showing the fish and a measuring tape and the scale. I think the IGFA needs to require more documentation. For a record like this a biologist or a fish and game person should examine the fish. The Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame really screwed up in my opinion. They gave it a 12 lb line class record but not the all tackle record. They require a necropsy on the fish for all tackle records but how can it be a 12 lb line record and no the all tackle. Either it is or isn't a record. All that said I would mine catching that fish or one half that size.
