I got the following note from Tom Schmidt:

At sunset last pm, I slid to Fairfax Falls for a walleye. I met a Bosnian fellow, MALIK SOLUNOVIC and 2 pals from Germany.
Solunovic, check spelling, was decked out in serious gear with a very nice 15 foot European carp rod. He looked to be sponsored pro.
 
He was very friendly and shared a photo and magazine clip as proof that he holds the world record for grass carp. In broken English, "I hold world record grass carp", he added  "with 4lb test". At first, caption on clipping said "Outdoors", in a similar font to the way ELK OM does it. But pretty sure it wasn't OM, but rather an Outdoors section of some other sporting pub.
 
He said google grass carp and or MALIK SOLUNOVIC. I urged he fished LCI. He wasn't familiar, but is now.  I told him I was honored to fish the same stretch of river with a world record angler.  He said the fishing in Vermont is tops and he and his pals had a fine day at Fairfax Falls, on the LA MUETTE.

I googled and googled and found it - Spelling of the name was a little different than what Tom had, so I went in and corrected it:

MALIK SOLUNOVIC
