The Case for David Haynes-Record Smallmouth Title

[JoeB]

It's always great to hear that someone's death has been exagerated! I hope Mr. Hayes is not an internet surfer.

To all those that read my post regarding the illegitimacy of Mr. Haye's fish I apologise.
After reading the article above I see where I was given lots of miss information.
I passed along the same article an received the same response from another non believer who changed his mind also.

I knew Mr. Hayes was still alive as a good friend of mine is talking to him an is going to meet him an get a picture of him an the fish.

Mr. Hayes is living in the Leitchfield area I think. He brought his fish to a Fishers of Men pre-tournament meeting and had a question and answer time. I have no doubts that this is the true record.
