I recently shot a potinal lake record Buffalo. The problem is that I shot the fish at 11:00pm and wasn't able to weigh the fish till 5:00am because the store that does the certified scales didn't open till then. The fish weighed in at 63 and a half pounds 5 hours after I shot it. The lake record is still 65lb but I lost my chance of fame cause my fish lost weight during the time I had to wait. How can I keep the weight of my fish the same as when I frist shoot it??

If you suspect you may have a record fish, take immediate steps to preserve the fish by keeping it alive in a live well or on ice after lightly wetting the fish and wrapping it in a dark, plastic bag. Freezing is preferred, but rarely can an angler immediately freeze the suspected record breaker. As soon as a freezer is available, however, freeze the fish.
Protect the prize catch from the sun and heat until you can find state certified scales to officially record the weight. Certified scales may be found in most grocery stores or post offices. If possible, take a photograph of the fish while it is still fresh for further documentation.
Since you shot the fish it will start to bleed out and lose weight immediately. These methods are only going to help minimize lost weight. Depending upon which state the fish was captured, the record in some cases must be exceeded by three ounces to claim a new record. All state record fish must be caught by sporting means, using standard tackle or pole and line. Fish caught in nets and traps or on trotlines and set hooks are not eligible. Many long-standing fish records have been equaled or surpassed, but unsuspecting anglers neglected to document the fish as a record or failed to protect the fish from weight loss. Remember that fish begin to lose weight immediately after leaving the water.

Theres not a ot that can be done. Even keeping a live fish will cause it stress and there for it will loose weight. You can slow the process by keeping the fish in cold cold water and wrapping it in a towel are newspaper before placing it in the water. That is the only thing I know to do do hopefully someone with more knowledge can give you a better solution.

Not only weight, it also shrinks once out of water. This could create serious headaches with the environmental officers. I've caught summer flounders 19.5 inches, which is the minimum in NYS, and by the time I put it in my sink, it was 19.25 inches, an illegal fish. I hate to explain that to the judge. Best would be to continously keep it in cool running water.

I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!

If it loses weight, you can always add a little mercury and get it heavier like that. You wouldn't want to eat it, though.
