Isn't URI's slogan "It's like high school for college age kids"?


Seriously, congrats to the angler on an awesome fish!

Yup, the IGFA called him at 10 30 this morning. Hopefully this puts to rest the innuendo that has been spread by all the jealous naysayers. He deserves everything he has coming to him.

Never doubted it and said so from day 1. Guy has caught too many big fish to be cheating.

No boat, back in the suds.

Some people are simply awesome anglers that will exceed no mater where or how they fish - that top 1 or 2%. Clearly this Myerson dude is one of them. I don't know if you have ever been fortunate enough to fish with any of those top 2% guys but if you did you would realize this.

I have little doubt in my mind that if he went Rocks and Cleats he would still outfish you. He would certainly outclass you.

I have to admit I was one of the skeptical ones when I first saw Meyerson's fish, guess this puts all questions to rest.

I thought RHM only fished greenies out of respect, what's this talk of a VS??

Congrats on the fish of a lifetime Mr. Myerson.

Glad to hear that everything checked out and you took the record away from Jersey!
