I agree with Mike on this wholeheartedly. Never before have these exacts words been said about the current record holder. Not in so many words anyways. Mr. McReynolds had to have been living that type of life that welcomed the continous negative reflection, before and after the fact, about his catching the big one.
It is nice to dream though and more than once did I have this dream. My fish weighs 88 #'s in my dream though. |

Take the ride for all you can, it won't last forever.
You'd never have to buy a rod or reel again.

 ...with some of the places I fish, I don't think I could carry it back to the truck, I'd have to drag it,,,and by the time it reached the truck it would already be a 1/2 mount that barely weighed 30#s.  |
 ... it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

I have often thought about this topic.
I would get the weight certified, lots of pictures and a good sports agent and lawyer. I am convinced that the next world record is a
$5M fish.
Endorsements for every piece of gear you used to catch the fish and I don't mean free stuff. I'm talking money. Rod, reel, line, waders, swivels, clip, down to what underware you were wearing. If it were a boat fish you are talking boat, motor, GPS, fishfinder, compass, rod holders, rocket launchers, fuel/water separators every friggin' thing on the boat. A good sports agent would know how to leverage this feat.
Then there would be the sport show tour. Articles written either by you or thru a ghost writter. The list goes on....

No boat, back in the suds.

Gotta agree about Al - it ain't ruining my life.
I think it worth less than a lot of us think it is. It ain't a LMB!

I totally agree with that statement. A 25 pound largemouth could be worth millions but a 80 striper....I doubt. Just doesnt have the same exposure..... |
Simplify.......
