You, Sir Scott Enloe, are the true Champion Record holder! Thank you for not killing such a legendary beast of a fish! Letting the ancient one go free again, demonstrates what a true Sportsman should aspire to. If it is caught again, or on the other side of heaven, the naysayers, shall be silenced. I think the rules should be changed for record fish, to be set free or at least to be kept alive if at all possible. Why intentionally kill such a wonderful, unique part of Creation? 👍

The problem is, the Colorado Division of Wildlife are attempting to control the numbers of lakers in Blue Mesa. They are netting and removing numbers of fish to control the overall population. Why would saving a fish that would reproduce and add fry to that lake benefit a fishery that is trying to reduce their number?
@stanleysweaney6174
@stanleysweaney6174 Жыл бұрын
The Colorado Division of Wildlife isn't interested in increasing numbers of lakers in Blue Mesa. They have been netting and removing numbers of them according to their agenda. I agree that a fish should be returned to enhance the fishery and angling experience for others, but again, releasing it because it will improve the fishery for lake trout and overall numbers isn't a priority of the current establishment.

@@IrishRebel88 Wrong. the short time it took this sportsman to measure allowed it an opportunity to flush the deadly lactic acid buildup it would surely have acrued during the fight. There's a very strong likelihood this titan will survive. There's little more heartbreaking in angling than reviving a big fish by the tail, seeing it operculate, struggle to go, only to let it go and witness it sink like a rock, still too cramped up to swim effectivly enough to sustain waterflow over the gills. Most of us will only need to do this once. I'm pretty certain you've never released a huge fish. Meat harvesters rarely do.

When people asked me where I caught it, I’d tell them somewhere common that everyone fishes. (A main pond that has tons of pressure.) I respect the fish release. No sense in killing this 60 year old creature for fame. You just need to know that you did it. No one needs to believe it.

Catching one of the giants from any system is a very special experience, almost spiritual. You don't think about it until the moment. You get this sense of deep respect for a creature that beat all the odds. Suddenly bragging rights or harvesting are not priorities, only releasing and a nod to mother nature for the experience. Some people won't relate, and that's fine too. Feeding yourself or your family is important.

When I landed it, the only thing rushing through my mind was to get it back quickly. When I got home my dad was annoyed I never kept it as it's a lovely eating fish. What you explained is exactly how I felt and that's why I fish as a hobby and not a provider. Everyone's story is different

Lake trout spawn in the fall. It may have been a infertile female allowing mass to be put on instead of eggs. A record 100 plus pounder was commercially netted in Canada and it was infertile. If you ever fished trout the eggs do not get large till fall, right now they would be very tiny, that is just the shape those very large trout get. In the fall she would be like a ball.

Good on him for prioritizing the trout's health over the record. Considering how much money some world records pay out, I can't really blame an angler if they pursue a record at the expense of a fish's life.

Such high Regards and respect for releasing that awesome catch. Yes its awesome to keep such a beast , but this fisherman knew releasing this monster means potential breeding allowing more future monsters to grow. there is nothing wrong with keeping within regulations. But to release it is pretty much a beautiful thing. Dude wherever you are I want you to know We the fishing community appreciate your candor. Bro people always joke but releasing does make fishing better another day. Its ok I hope you are blessed with many daily salmon limits and may your lines be tight forever.
