Bottom line--there's only one fish in the North Atlantic that looks like a striped bass, and that grows to 80 pounds, and that's a striped bass. There's no need for anyone to examine it to verify that it's a striped bass. As far as the rest of it goes, the weighmaster has to attest to it, the town official has to attest to the fact of the scale's certification, and at least one witness has to attest to the weighing besides the weighmaster. How much verification does anyone want? At the end of the day, you're certifying a fishing record, nothing more. It's not a big deal to about 95% of the world's population.

I know, I'm having fun with it too. I don't know Greg at all, maybe hes sitting in front of the CPU laughing at us all too.

If i caught the world record, not many in my life would really care. Probably wouldnt even get a beer bought for me...
