That is an incredible catch.
The good news is that we don't have to hear about McReynolds fish anymore.
If I caught that fish, I would put a spongebob rod in the back of the truck and say I caught it on that.

And the bad news is it'll be replaced by all sorts of bull #^&#^&#^&#^& about the Stromski fish. 
It was stuffed. It was full of sash weights. It was caught in the EEZ. It was caught in a net and given to him by a (friend, brother-in-law, cousin, ET off an alien craft--take yer pick) and that's why it looks like crap in the picture.
I guarantee you'll hear all of those and more before the weekend's out. Half of the fishing world hasn't heard about it yet. |

If you get a potential world record fish and want to weigh it in, you gotta have your A-game on on how you handle the whole deal. Call in for 200 lbs of ice, cooler when you get to the dock. Document everything in detail, state biologists on site asap, ect.! The more solid evidence the better!

Weighing on a certified scale is not enough for me. I trust the weight of the scale BUT the internals, guts, along spine, ect. of the fish NEEDS to be checked out. If all goes well, you gain a TON of credibilty.

when a world record fish is caught like this or any other, the igfa verifies all the details.
heres the paperwork that needs to be filled out, its pretty thorough.
http://www.igfa.org/PDF/IGFA_Record_...ation_2011.pdf
read the top part of page 1, they will subject you to a ploygraph if need be.
Hopefully he comes away from this with the new record.
if they open it up and its got 5 lbs of lead form yo yo bunker bunker but he has nothing to do with it, that would suck for the angler |

You catch a beautiful fish and you need to be subjected to filling out a pile of paperwork for it??? Sca-rew that!! I would do just what he did....take my fish and go home! He knows he caught it and that would be enough for me were I in his shoes!  |

Larry, about 5 years ago I started a thread asking what a new Striper World Recod would be worth. I stand by what I said. If it stands up and the kid has a brain in his head, he will get the best sports attorney money can buy. The fish is work $$$$$$. Endorcements for everything from rod, reel, line, hook, swivel, boat, shoes, shorts underwear, hats, you name it. Not to mention he gets it mounted and goes on the show circuit this winter. What a draw for a sportman show. Every "ham and egger" in the vicinity will pay to see the new world record. Books, Articles. Hell, I could make a fortune if it was me. |
No boat, back in the suds.
