hahaha good one numbskull. i can honestly say i don't think i would want to catch the next record due to all the publicity that comes with it and the fact that you will very more than likely never be able to top that fish which would make many not go out nearly as much just knowing that. a fish of that size would easily end many fishermans careers because of the pressure to go out and top that fish. for me, i am happy coming home with a good size fish or no fish at all, but def. not a fish weighing 79 pounds. yes i kno, this sounds retarded... just knowing how much pressure would be on you to catch more fifty and bigger fish would be crushing because you would have to prove that this record was no "fluke" and that you deserved and put in many years to receive a chance at a fish of this magnitude... i just don't think i'd be ready for that.
