It may be legit but I still think that scale needs to be re-certified to make sure. McReynolds fish looks to have a much bigger head and gut. I used to know of several local tackle shops that had IGFA stickers on their scales which were commonly 3 or 4lbs off. The whole fluke tourney controversy from this weekend points out that properly maintained scales can be inaccurate.
