It would be nice if there was a way when a state record was caught that the measurements could be taken at the lake so there's a chance that the fish could be released (maybe tagged so if someone else catches it a week later it wouldn't count) From what I read on the process it pretty much guarantees you have to kill a record to get credit for it.

Then again as far as I know the salmon don't reproduce in any of the new jersey lakes so it's not like that was a massive breeder being taken out of the population.
