Uh, no, I corrected the guy who said it was Ande. It was actually the old Garcia company, the one from Fairfield, NJ that imported Mitchell reels. He's the one who started the X-ray argument. He implied that Al's fish had to be X-rayed to be accepted as the record--when I pressed him on it, he said it was to collect the reward.

If Ande offered rewards for world records caught on Ande line, we'd have all been fishing Stren--Ande would have gone bankrupt.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
