Larry-You wouldn't have to do that. You are a known entity whose credibility is above reproach.
When such a prized record falls guys will always cast a suspicious eye, especially when the details are as ... Interesting ...as they are here: 1) The guy won't seek the IGFA record, 2) The fish is short for its weight, 3) The fish is entered in, and will likely win, a major contest, 4) Said contest does not require the fish be cut open to see if it has been loaded, 5) The fish was caught in Connecticut, 6) By a relative unknown...
Being a skeptic does not make one a jealous a$$hole as some would like to believe.

There is more information on the Field and Stream site, good story, hats off to the angler

Looks like it will be submitted too: "There’s another rumor he can put to rest: Reports that Myerson won’t enter the fish as a world record? Bunk, he says. “I’d be an ass if I didn’t, wouldn’t I?”
Some poor bastard broke this fish off too, there was a hook and leader in its jaws  |

1) Looks like he is submitting it for the record.
2) How long are all the other 81+ pound fish you've seen?
5) There are plenty of very big fish caught in CT during the summer.
6) The guy has a bunch of 50 pound plus fish to his credit. I'd say he's pretty well known to a lot of striper fishermen.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
