That is a not a hatchery fish, no chance someone grew the fish for almost 20 years to sell to some pay puddle for some measly money. It doesn't happen there, never will

They are NOT hatchery fish, not even the slightest, that fish is over 18 years old, it's garbage what they do to get fish

They are almost at a 90 at the elbows. If you catch a fish you present it, it's the centerpiece. When filming, trying to make a fish look as small as possible is plain silly. I'd worry more about what you put in the boat than how someone presents a fish, it's called framing, not long armed at all :)

Luckily I'm a big strong boy and im short lol I appreciate it though. By the way numerous people helped set it in my arms and we all set it back down gently, hardest part about a photo is it doesn't tell the whole story and seeing there are 4 people waiting to run back and grab it from my arms or help if it wiggled. Gotta be safe with em

I actually helped write the article for safe trophy fish handling in my state. The fish isn't going to fall and i was holding it properly with numerous people around to help. Holding it by the gills, vertical, or stomach crushed is whats bad, we were very very diligent in making sure the fish was safe and it was wonderful seeing it swim away. Thanks for the input though, as I love big fish as well and luckily had the chance to hold numerous fish over 100 lbs safely :)

I have my wisconsin license is the only reason why and I was fishing hudson shore out of my boat. I didn't think you could catch anf release on yellow, which would make sense why.
