[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 256876, member: 337"] The weight of the fish has been confirmed by NDGF to exceed the necessary weight to qualify for the state record. From what I gather the manner of the taking is what is under investigation because eye witnesses have stated that it was not taken legally. I can't imagine they're relying on the video because, if so, that's not enough to disqualify IMO.

State records and such don't really register highly in my brain like they did when I was 25.
