247,
1st of all, none of my comments were meant to be, and I don't think they can be construed as "hurtful."
Bobby and Al are just different people. Bobby, at the time he caught the fish was a Suffolk county cop. He was fishing out of a 20 fott Mako cc, hardy a $100,000 boat, especially way back then. I was only pointing out that they were different people who handled the fame differently. If you ask Bobby he will tell you that, at the time, there were at least five other guys fishing Montauk, that could just as easily have cught that fish. Bob, Mike McMan, John Alberta, Boib storc, Tom Jordan, Roger jarvis as well as myself and several others used to shar info and fish the same spots. Any one of us might have at least hooked that fish ( I doubt I would have landed it had it been me
) My only point is that we all would have reacted differently, Bobby handled it well, Al didn't.
