I'd have to say that I'd send her on her merry way back into the depths that she came from. Personally, no matter if its a possible record or not, setting a fish free is pretty much in a tie for me as getting them to take a bait. The stuff in between can be exciting but those events are the ones that have me so devoted to fishing in general. However, I'd completely understand someone wanting to keep this fish. If not for record purposes, then just the trophy aspect alone. We all have our reasons for being into this sport.

As mush as I hate to admit it, I'd hope that if someone did keep this fish and it was a record that the news wouldn't reach some of the other "Musky" websites out there right away. Let them (those other sites) continue to share their idiocracy and arguments amongst themselves. As mush as they amuse me sometimes, I'm also sickened by some of that shit when someone who is excited to share their stories on those sites only gets beaten down by a group of idiots.

Anyhow, sorry for the rant. I just saw some stuff posted on other sites pertaining to this fish that are just ridiculous.
