If a record was caught, what would a person do..?

You can do it JT26! I'm pulling for you. Wouldn't that be sweet if you beat the record...I bet if you devoted a good 2-3 months this summer it could be done...I bet some in Lk. Washington are can approach 2 pounds.

i am gonna catch the record i think i can really do it but it will take persistence

You said the same thing twice already. You really repeat yourself when you say little things and it clutters up threads...
