I'll be the first to admit that this subject should not have been posted. At the time I could pull up no information about it on the net. All I had was the information from the ticker on MSNBC and thought it would be fun. You are all correct in saying, "What a Shame."

And when I say that, It is only because it had been purposefuly snagged, not because it was caught/landed and with the assistance of another/larger boat, I hope someone would help me in a case like this and share the record with me.

Since when do you establish a record for a snagged fish??? Big fish but no joy on the method... Crying or Very sad

I believe that is why the IGFA is "investigating it", "snagged" a game fish. Last year the record hammerhead was landed with use of other boats, but all were same type of flat boats, that legally used a stingray as bait to hook the fish, and only the crew of the fishing boat used a gaff on the fish. There was also a Record Mako caught during a shark tourney, (which is weigh your biggest shark weighed in dead over 300#), in '01. But that boat gaffed (which broke) then was able to tail rope the fish and get it back to weigh-in on thier own. I guess it is all about the ethics now. Hope to be fishing with you all soon.
