IMO Stetzco's fish it the grandest surf caught bass ever. (Sorry, Al's story changed so many friggin times I just can't believe it., It is a huge bass and it is the current world record as recognized by the IGFA...but as recognized by ME, Tony's fish is the one. It is not because he was/is poor or has bad personal habits or because he is not a super bright guy, it is because the story I believe untrue. How many times have you read about this? And each time the story seems to change from the last. I recall when "The fishermen" reported on it shortly after the catch. All I know I found it hard to believe then and know that that story as he told it years later was a lot different. which is it?
Boat fishing for stripers are fun and I enjoy catching them by boat like many others but lets be honest...a 70 from the shore is a hell of a lot grander catch then a 70 from a boat. Equally great fish as recognized by the IGFA but from the shore is a lot different challenge. The IGFA is really a boaters organization in my view whose focus is truly aimed at the offshore community, they do not recognize any difference between shore and boat caught fish...are they saying there is no difference?
