I had the pleasure to fish in the general area where greg caught his fish 2 weeks prior to it being caught. And i gotta say the fishing was easy. Easy because the guy who took me out put in many years fishing the area, learning the area. He had the day all planned out before leaving the dock. His GPS was marked with bogus names of a bunch of pieces of structure. We had to get bait by X time, and be at checkpoint charlie at Y time, giving us 30 minutes to fish before the spot fails and we head to the next place, and on and on it went. Yes the fishing was easy, we caught a lot of fish that day up to 44 lbs, and lost a few more that were much bigger. I have never had fish take off like a few of them did, smoking drag like no striper i have ever caught. Bulldogging to the bottom, i could feel a couple wrapping around crap on the bottom. It is a different game in a boat for sure but it still takes a hell of a lot of skill and knowledge of an area to consistently pull up large. Gregs record counts, but it still is a boat fish and i know there is a difference. As soon as i landed the 44 lber on the boat i was asked if it was my biggest fish, i said that i "wasn't sure" and my buddy looked at me and before he opened his mouth i said "i know it doesn't count". It counts but to me its kind of like the home run record. It should have an asterisk next to it.
