WOW: How Roy Greer Caught the New World Record Bass

How Roy Greer Caught the New World Record Bass
Quote
It’s the biggest news to hit the world of bass fishing in a half-century! In this Sporting Classics exclusive, a 68-year-old South Carolina angler reveals how he caught what may soon be recognized as the new world-record largemouth.

Quote
Greer walked with a limp, dragging his left leg noticeably. We followed him to a brown Ford Escort station wagon with a swamp-beaten jon boat strapped on top. He opened the back hatch and pointed to a red and white cooler among a clutter of rod and tackle.

“It’s in there.”

We waited for him to explain or say something else. When he did nothing but stare off into the street traffic, Chuck asked him, “What’s in there?”

“A bass. Caught it late yesterday, and my nephew Todd … he gets your magazine … thought you guys might like to see it. You’re interested in stories about big fish, ain’t ya?”

Greer backed up a step and once again pointed toward the cooler. “Go ‘head. Open it. It ain’t gonna bitecha.” With that he chuckled.

Don't know if it's a serious story or not, after all it's that day, but it's a pretty good read either way!

Damn good read Dale, I certainly hope it is true.  That gentleman is a real sportsman with a great story.  I hope this isn't the last we hear about him.

Awesome story!  Especially the part where they questioned his honesty.
