It's a "so what" record because bigger fish get caught all the time by both junior and senior anglers and released. It's kind of like holding the igfa spiny dogfish record. ;^)

Not to diminish your accomplishments in any way, but if you want to chase a record, pick something that has meaning like mako or thresher.

Records are cool I guess. But it's still the fishing that keeps bringing us back.

Just a thunk.
