Interesting poll.
I think it has to stand as a State record.
I don't like the idea of the state releasing ready made record fish BUT..... This fish must still be landed using typical angling methods. In all honesty, how many trout fishermen out there are actually geared up to LAND the next State record? The beast of Kensington is 20+ pounds. I'd bet that 98% of the angling public just do not have the skills and tackle neccasary to land a fish of that size. I primarily bass fish and can tell you first hand that even amongst the bass guys ,who tend to use much heavier gear than trout folk, odds are low they will actually land the next state record bass (which is smaller in weight than the trout). I was showing a trout angler from Japan the picture of the "Beast" and told him, "Many will hook that fish, no one will catch it".
It should stand as a Staet record due to the individuals skills, not how the fish was created.
