Would You Want The State Record Of A Trash Fish?

Recently, a buddy posted this picture from Idaho and said "name this fish." After I threw up in my mouth a little I realized it was, indeed, a gigantic pikeminnow. The second trashiest trash fish in the Americas, second only to the Asian Carp.They're ugly and invasive and good for nothing and I hate them. BUT. It was absolutely huge, measuring at 24 inches, which is only 1 inch shy of the Idaho state record.

This got me thinking, would you even want the state record for accidentally catching the biggest piece of garbage in the water? Like, would you want this picture in the record books?

You weigh in..would you want a state record sized trash fish, and to have your face associated with them for the rest of time?
