It's kind of hard to weigh a 150+ lb fish on a boat. I'm with yall on not keeping what you aren't going to eat, but like someone else said, I'm sure at a lot of these events their are biologists and such there to take samples and study these fish.
By the time a fish is that size, they have probably already lived the majority of their life, and have done their fair share of spawning and laying eggs.
