zdunham Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 http://www.bassmaster.com/news/potential-striped-bass-record-caught That is a MONSTER! I hope it doesn't get disqualified for any reason. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted March 7, 2013 Super User Posted March 7, 2013 Good gravy! That's a massive fish! Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted March 7, 2013 Super User Posted March 7, 2013 That's one giant fish ... This post has a video interviewing him and his wife. The Striper Run in the Hudson is coming soon. Maybe I can be so lucky. http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2013/03/dora_man_catches_record_stripe.html Quote
Shoalamfishin Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 I cannot imagine having to fight a striper that big... good graciouis. That this is huge! Quote
dave Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 An article I read said the fish was 45". Is the fisherman only five feet tall? If he stepped to the left a bit, you would only be able to see his feet. Quote
Super User Teal Posted March 7, 2013 Super User Posted March 7, 2013 Does mustad still run that award for record fish? Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted March 7, 2013 Super User Posted March 7, 2013 How about that. A 65 year old catching a record striper. Old guys rule. 4 Quote

If he stepped to the left a bit, you would only be able to see his feet. Perspective.

tholmes Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Holy Smokes!!! That's exactly twice the size of the biggest striper that I've ever caught, and I thought it was a great battle. I can only imagine what that monster was like! Tom Quote
Super User Tuckahoe Joe Posted March 7, 2013 Super User Posted March 7, 2013 Wow man....that thing is beasty! Quote
BrettD Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 I bet it was a baitfish devouring pig with a massive appetite. Quote
Jmrichardson2011 Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 That fish is incredible. Wonder how long the fight took. Quote
