this is a good idea...

the whole "record" thing has great potential for increasing interest in this sport but the "great salters" of the pre- WWII era have made "overall records" (e.g. the biggest fish ever of any species) impossible to beat because the records in the books are bogus.... this is a real problem with walleye, bass and pike...


however, local records and lake records are a different story....

wondering if we could encourage participation from tackle shops and resorts in regard to providing certified scales and credible witnesses......

if done right it would increase their exposure and hence revenues.....
