for me it would depend on where i caught it

 

[likwit]

wow
that thing is huge
i've seen alot of dead fish on the dock (bonked a few myself)
i for one would rather watch it swim away
but i understand that others would want to keep it
people pay good money to go fishing
the feeling of catching a big pig and then watching it return to see is priceless in my opinion

 

[finaddict]

That one would be on the wall and in my belly.

 

[lazyguy]

That things obese!!...ticker was probably about to pack it in anyhow.

 

[Tips Up]

Can anyone confirm this fish?
She doesn't look like she is straining enough to be holding up 70lbs.
Also her hands and body don't look right to the size of her head.
Photo shop?

If so that is one huge fish!!
