you just caught a 79 plus pound bass...

hahaha good one numbskull. i can honestly say i don't think i would want to catch the next record due to all the publicity that comes with it and the fact that you will very more than likely never be able to top that fish which would make many not go out nearly as much just knowing that. a fish of that size would easily end many fishermans careers because of the pressure to go out and top that fish. for me, i am happy coming home with a good size fish or no fish at all, but def. not a fish weighing 79 pounds. yes i kno, this sounds retarded... just knowing how much pressure would be on you to catch more fifty and bigger fish would be crushing because you would have to prove that this record was no "fluke" and that you deserved and put in many years to receive a chance at a fish of this magnitude... i just don't think i'd be ready for that.

Like I said in another reply post to a similar question. First I would notify my attorney after catching it, but even before then I would have my photographers/cameramen, best boy, gaffers, food concession workers, the drivers for the whole crew, and anyone else nearby sign affidavits to what they saw, insisting on the truth. Then I will weigh it in and duck.
Then I might, no I will, buy all brown clothes so that all the chit everybody throws your way wont show. Might be able to smell it, but at least in a crowd no one will no for sure its you that smell so damn bad.

Of course during this time my attorney wil be signing me onto endrosement packages that would rival anything Peyton Manning or Lebron James receives. So in the end regardless of who says or does what to me I can just goand have another with my brother.

I'd milk it for all it's worth...

awesome thought process . you might need it with all the knuckleheads out there today . maybe that was u.p.s thought too but then why the funny shorts ?

I have never thought about what I would do , but an attorney and an agent might be in order . or maybe I wouldnt tell anyone and then no one will want to follow me and ask me where oh where did that striper come from oh where oh where might she live .
