Check out the photo in the photos section of NCBF.com. Story is the guy was fishing for stripers and caught this monster, weighed her on a Bogagrip and released her immediately as in so what. Turns out it would have been or may still turn out to be the fly caught world record. Actually caught by Joe Shelby. Awsome fish!
Story is also on DanBlanton.com bulletin board.

What an awesome looking fish. I wonder what gives those delta monsters that yellow coloration? I can't think of anywhere else I've really seen that. Some fish at Spring Lake have a yellow color inside their mouth but not outside on the chin like that. Congratualtions to that guy on catching and releasing that fish. That fish looks like a fish that probably hasn't been caught in many years, if ever in it's life.
