Via IGFA Comes News Of A Potential New Striped Bass All-Tackle Record
” While fishing the Black Warrior River in central Alabama on February 28th, James R. Bramlett landed this massive landlocked striped bass (Morone saxatilis) that has already earned him the new Alabama state record. Bramlett, a native of Alabama, pulled up to his fishing spot at around 11 am and immediately noticed big stripers busting schools of shad on top of the water. He quickly hooked a live shad on his hook and tossed it in the vicinity of the action. It wasn’t long before Bramlett’s outfit got slammed and he was hooked up with what he knew was a quality fish. After a 30 minute fight on 30 lb tackle, Bramlett landed this catch of a lifetime. Back on dry land, Bramlett’s fish weighed in at 31.55 kg (69 lb 9 oz) on certified scales at a local post office. With the existing record at 30.61 kg (67 lb 8 oz), Bramlett’s catch qualifies him for the potential new IGFA All-Tackle record. Congratulations James, on a great catch!”

Amazing Billfish Bite In Guatemala
Capt. Brad Philipps (rear) led Angela (left) and Dave (right) Workman to an amazing 91 sailfish releases Dec. 28, 2012, aboard Decisive.
” Capt. Brad Philipps, generally regarded as one of the best billfish captains on the planet, added to his legacy in late December, tallying incredible numbers of billfish releases aboard his 40-foot Gamefisherman,Decisive.
Over a 10-day stretch, Philipps, who operates Guatemalan Billfishing Adventures, released well over 400 sailfish. The action got hot right after Christmas, on Dec. 27, when Philipps found a huge body of fish only 7 to 14 miles offshore and tallied 40 releases from 49 bites.
“But the following day saw one of those unbelievable bites most only dream about,” said Philipps, who has released more than 23,000 billfish over the past 11 years in Guatemala and has won The Billfish Foundation’s Release Captain of the Year Award for 10 years straight.”

The Lance Armstrong Ride to Redemption
” The Lance Armstrong Ride to Redemption began in earnest on Monday, and not just because the disgraced cyclist admitted — as expected — to the doping that cost him his seven Tour de France victories during an emotional interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Armstrong is also in talks to return some of the millions of taxpayer dollars he received from the United States Postal Service, which sponsored his team from 1998 to 2004, CBS News reported. Armstrong has also indicated a willingness to testify against others involved in doping.
RELATED: LANCE ADMITS TO OPRAH HE USED PEDs
The negotiations may be an attempt to avoid criminal prosecution or prevent the government from joining the whistleblower suit filed by Armstrong’s former teammate Floyd Landis, who was stripped of his 2006 Tour de France victory because of doping.
Justice Department officials have urged the feds to join the whistleblower suit, CBS said, and the government’s resources would make the case far more troublesome for Armstrong than if Landis pursued it alone. Landis could collect up to 30% of any money recovered in the case. “
