I think I agree with the OP. You would get freebie stuff and speak, maybe some small endorsements etc., but you would not be a millionaire.
I also agree with a previous post that it will matter who caught it. If the person is not wise, it could be worth nothing. In this society, looks could play a part in it too. Weird to think of it that way.
I do not consider myself a greedy person, but I think if I caught a world record striped bass I think I would lie my tail off about what I caught it on, with etc. in order to maximize the $$ possibilities. Maybe not, I was able to release my new PB last season so maybe I could feel good about being honest.
