I have not read the Alabama State Record Rules as shown on the outdooralabama.com site in a while, however, I do believe that you must leave from an Alabama port and return to an Alabama port without making landfall in another state...that would include fueling in the River, to my understanding. Check the aforementioned sites so that you can see the rules for yourself, though. As Xanadu and I have been discussing, the rules can make all the difference...it would surprise you some of the things I see that are not in compliance with IGFA regs, things that some folks just take for granted, such as hook rigs and leader lengths, especially. Kind of tedious to sift through the IGFA literature, but certainly worth it if you expect to contend for the big payoff. Good luck and stay dry today.
