Chaseasl you and your buddies keep on catching fish like that and one day not to far in the future there won't be any trophy cats left. You MINE as well attach gill nets to your boat. Chaseasl you also said it's his boat and if he wants to keep him I can't stop him. I would've told him about himself and never went fishing with him again. My friend/bro-in-law was in the boat with me one night when we caught a 25lb flathead and a 30lb flathead. He wanted to keep them so bad he couldn't see straight even though we already had plenty of eater size cats. We got in a heated argument about it and I let them both go. Stand up for yourself. Just cause he looks like he's heman on steroids wouldn't have stopped me from telling him about himself.

His looks has nothing to do with me not saying anything kinda hard to tell but I've got him by a good bit weight wise, the guy is the best friend I have and if keeping 3 or 4 big cats each year makes him happy then so be it.
