After spending this weekend with Al I have no doubt in my mind that he caught the fish, and he would have no reason to lie about it. He is one of those guys that just catches fish. The same type of guy that could be sitting five feet next to you on the beach with the same plug, same exact rod/reel/line setup and out fish you 10/1, he’s just one of those guys. I’ve seen it first hand and I know you guys have seen people like that too.
I said I would ask him about the story for you guys, and I did, BUT, I don't think that it is my place to quote anything he said to me. Let me tell you that I have NO DOUBT that he caught the fish; something’s are just meant to be and can't be made up.
He’s just a great guy that loves fishin', someone I'm very proud to call my friend. Not because he's the world record holder, but because he has a heart of gold and really truly cares about his country and fellow man. He took such great pride talking to some of the guys in the local tackle shops. Some of them had doubts such as yourselves, and came right out and asked him about specifics. Let me tell you, when we were done talking there were no doubts left in there minds, nor mine.
This is the last thing I have to say about this subject; just imagine if YOU or I caught that fish, we would ALL have to listen to this same crap
