I took a ride to the Worcester show today with Uncle Zeke and ran into the Crazy One with Mike Laptew at the Crocodile Bay Lodge booth -

Got to talk to Alberto for a while and catch up and he showed me something he had just received in the mail - his official silver embossed certificate and letter of award from the IGFA recognizing his 45 lb. striped bass taken on 8 lb. test - from shore - as a new World Record! And we also got the full 1st hand account of his catch with photos -

Congratulations, Alberto! :kewl: Way to go, pal!
