Didn't see a whole lot of details, was wondering if he was out with a guide service or not when he caught it

Just gave a length and not a weight. I thought records went off of weight.

CnR records are generally by length and with a witness.

Great catch but the actions of the angler take center stage. Now there's a true sportsman. Not many would have released that fish and given himself or another the opportunity to experience the same thrill. I'm happy for him and I hope he breaks the record again.

I think most people who are able to catch a Laker like that would return it to the lake. It would be pretty extraordinary for some random meat hunting scrub to catch something like that.
