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 Crafty Angler – It was good seeing ya again buddy! Also, send my regards to Uncle Zeke…and when are you coming down to NY?
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…
