No doubt it was a Stargazer. I even looked it up in "McClane's New Standarsd Fishing
Encyclopedia". It did state it was edible but no commercial value. The record in NJ is
13lbs.

| Was releasing it a mistake ?

| It's probabaly edible but nobody eats stargazers.
| Are you sure it was Stargazer? I had no idea they could get as big as 10
