take that fish to a place it's got to be weighed on terra firma so that's one of our rules you don't have to kill a fish for an igfa record in fact over half of our records that we get every year are released alive but you can't i want to pause on that because we covered this pretty heavily one time the terra firma yeah okay we had a musky expert on the show and we were kind of talking about the musky wars which is god don't don't let me talk about that we don't need to go down the musky rabbit hole but we had a guy here to go down the musky rabbit hole and basically he was a he was a gentleman

who had made it his life's passion.

I think, I think I know this gentleman probably to track down all the old crazy musky photos, right?

All of the, whatever the, the, the, the 80 inch musk, you know what I mean?

He was kind of like, how many of these are actually out there?

Can I find the people that caught him?

Can I find out what the situation, how did they actually weigh it?

Right.

And he was going through the historic record of the real famous giants where it's some picture of an old man standing there and on the Polaroid, someone wrote, you know, someone wrote like 60 pounds or whatever.

Right.

And he's like, who caught that?

What really happened?

How was it weighed?

Okay.

Yeah.

And we put that question to him about why the terra firma.

So when you got your old rusty Zevco scale and you lift it up in the boat, like why that doesn't count, you know, can you, can you touch on that?

And that scale spring is going like this on the waves.

Don't, don't mess with how you got, how you got your terminal, your jig, your jig head or Rapala or whatever.

Just leave it all tied on and say, you can leave it tied on.
