great news, thanks for posting.
Good to see a URI alum amount to something.

What year did you graduate from Rhody? I was there until 1993

Isn't URI's slogan "It's like high school for college age kids"?


Seriously, congrats to the angler on an awesome fish!

Congrats on the record! Glad that is finally settled.

1991

You guys probably puked on each others shoes and didn't even realize it :hee:

Congrats to him on that huge fish

Where are the haters:huh:

Congrats on a beast of a fish:buds:

Yup, the IGFA called him at 10 30 this morning. Hopefully this puts to rest the innuendo that has been spread by all the jealous naysayers. He deserves everything he has coming to him.

Congrats. to the fisherman.

But he killed a poor fishy????:jump1:

I was there until 2000

Best college on the planet: drank. surfed, fished and fornicated for 5 years.

Great news, Congrats to Greg :fishin:

Congrats Greg!

There was never a doubt in my mind. :btu:

Congrats, Mr. Myerson. :claps:

Congrats To Greg , :)

Maybe he will release all the rest as he only catches LARGE ><> --- ><> --
And now has a WR under his belt :)

Congratulations to Mr Myerson!

Nice to see this record fall to a guy who fishes hard.

Congrats to Greg

Never doubted it and said so from day 1. Guy has caught too many big fish to be cheating.

Congrats to Mr Myerson!


^ those fish took off.... I'm still sayin that fish was caught around fisher island and Not CT. Boat fish dont count! :fishin: Any dumb azz can float over a spot and stick fish..... tourist do it all the time. Now if he hunted that fish down with korkers ..... I would do a double take but to me he's just another boat guy that don't mean #^&#^&#^&#^&t in my book!

Yawn

give him a set cleats and stick a VS in his hands and he will come in last place scratching head with no fish but a few twinkies... I had 3 fish over 30lbs in the last 30 days and few 20s.... screw him. he's just a boat guy who got lucky.

Some people are simply awesome anglers that will exceed no mater where or how they fish - that top 1 or 2%. Clearly this Myerson dude is one of them. I don't know if you have ever been fortunate enough to fish with any of those top 2% guys but if you did you would realize this.

I have little doubt in my mind that if he went Rocks and Cleats he would still outfish you. He would certainly outclass you.

Glad it is settled. Good for him.

Congrats that is a major accomplishment

I have to admit I was one of the skeptical ones when I first saw Meyerson's fish, guess this puts all questions to rest.

I thought RHM only fished greenies out of respect, what's this talk of a VS??

The "Nay-Sayers" can piss and whine all they want......he has his name in the column as a world record holder!!! Boat or surf its quite a fish and I congratulate him!!:uhuh:

Wish I had Greg Meyerson's kind of luck????

I was there until 2000

True.......from what I can remember. :)

Congrats on the fish of a lifetime Mr. Myerson.

Glad to hear that everything checked out and you took the record away from Jersey!

RHM - you are prohibited from this thread. Seeing you want to crap all over it you can crap in this thread: http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripertalk/stripertalk/73928-rhms-thread-hijack-official-world-record-greg-myerson.html

So you take the"WORLD RECORD" thread and try and make it about YOU?????

Please try and show some BASIC respect for the forum here and the TOPIC of the thread.


I moved it ;)

Now that that's over...

Congrats to the New Record Holder.

...

Congrats to the new World Record Holder - Well Done!

He had a 55 last night.

Thank God this is over. I almost had a nervious breakdown over this nitwit.:rotf2:

Anyone know where this fish got off to in the end...freezer....dumpster....dinner for ?..never hear what happens to them after the fact.

Got marinated in fiberglass, like most all record breakers I suppose.
Nice Mount!

Congratulations Mr. Myerson, if he had caught it after October 1st he could have cashed in big time. If he doesn't beat it himself maybe some other person could become a millionaire. Register if you use Mustad hooks. Click here:
