I hate that he kept those catfish, at least i'm assuming he did. The one picture is from the boat sitting on the trailer. I'll keep some of the smaller ones to eat, but typically let the big girls go. They aren't half fit to eat anyhow.

Those are some big catfish though.

I'm pretty sure he let them go, did you view the link? I know he released at least one. LOL, I guess I should view it again[crazy], I forgot already.

Here is what he said,"After releasing the fish that morning, Royce and his father baited new lines, and Royce hooked up with the larger catfish, which also was released after the catch was certified by the same biologist".

Him being a guide, I'm sure he knows the value of releasing those big Mama fish, so the can make more babies[].
