That's an excellent point Bruce. Was it a recent striper record breaker that basically went into hiding to avoid the media attention it brought? I read that the previous record holder was basically over scrutinized by the public,questioning almost violently the validity of his catch. Personally if I were ever to be so fortunate to land a record fish I think I would do the same and keep it to myself. I would take my pictures, share the measurements with people I trusted and avoid the attacks that seem to follow these sort of accomplishments these days.
