Should be nothing but accolades for Greg. From what I have read the guy is a big time big fish catcher. Great to see that someone with a lot of skill set the new record. He caught a fish that we all dream about, congratulations. Heck, he has caught a lot of fish that we all dream of. This one is super special.
Great post Buesdude71, you but it together real nice

Yeah bluesdude, nice article and pics. It seems field and stream did a well-balanced article. The thing about pictures is they can be deceiving depending on the angle and how the guy holds it. Half the people complaining about it probably never caught a fish above 40 and the other half, maybe they arr just jealous. He weighed it on a scale at that tackle shop in conn. If he weighs it again it will definitely be less as they lose weight every day. Hell, I'll bet it lost a pound or 2 after being on the boat 12 hours and out all night. So if he did weigh it again and it was only 78.5lbs, who's to say that it wasn't 81.88 when it was first weighed? Congrats to him, whether he decides to pursue it with the IGFA or not. He knows he caught it and that's good enough for hm. Great catch!
