Congratulations To Crazy Alberto!

I took a ride to the Worcester show today with Uncle Zeke and ran into the Crazy One with Mike Laptew at the Crocodile Bay Lodge booth -

Got to talk to Alberto for a while and catch up and he showed me something he had just received in the mail - his official silver embossed certificate and letter of award from the IGFA recognizing his 45 lb. striped bass taken on 8 lb. test - from shore - as a new World Record! And we also got the full 1st hand account of his catch with photos -

Congratulations, Alberto! Way to go, pal!

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the kind words!
All I can say is this… I was very “lucky” on that day.


Fish hard and don’t forget to keep a tight logbook…

Great job Alberto! It's awesome to see people who really put the time in be rewarded. I read your article in on the water - definitely keeping that for future reference.

HAMMER TIME!
