Bamaskeetshooter,
I came to the same conclusion at first, but what bothers me is that when I examined the fish closely, they had no hook marks in their mouths, and they weren't gut hooked. I hope you are right, and I also hope this was an isolated event. It was a shame to have to filet a 42 pounder, although it would have been worse of a shame to leave the fish to rot. That fish could have been over 50 by next spring, potentially providing someone with a nice trophy. Thanks for adding to the discussion.

Tight Lines!
