Usually, the "Do you know who I am?" would be followed by him handing you a business card that read "Albert McReynolds, World Record Holder, Striped Bass"
Which is why I laugh when I read about him now saying if he had it to do all over again, he'd cut the line
But, unless someone comes up with proof, he's still the record holder. His story changes because he's not the sharpest tool in the shed--not because the basics aren't true.
