From BD Outdoors Website:

And as far as his character goes, let me just relay a quick story about Greg and his love for fishing. As a high-school All-American linebacker, Greg was offered a full ride to play ball at a number of Division One colleges, including the famed football program at the University of Tennessee. He turned them all down and decided to attend the University of Rhode Island. The reason? He wanted to fish. He spent his free time chasing striped bass on every stretch of water from Point Judith to Little Narragansett Bay.

“If I told you how many hours I've spent fishing in that two-foot by two-foot space on my boat, you wouldn't believe me,” he says. “I'm not worried about money or anything coming from this fish, but I guess I'm not opposed to someone handing me some either,” he joked.

Hope everything goes well for this guy. Seems as though hes put in his time and deserves this fish. I can guarantee of some tourist caught on a Charter, he/she wouldnt be as "scrutinized" as this guy has been. If I caught the fish I would disappear to Cabo for 1-2 months, and nobody would hear from me either. Media can be brutal, not as bad as jealous fishermen though.
