Albert McReynolds World record Bass

[Brewlugger]

I just heard second hand that Albert passed away last night. I never met him but I did see a mount of his 78.5lb Striper at Cambells about a year after he caught it. Here is what I remember about it. He caught her in late September at the Vermont ave jetty in 1982. He said he got it on a 5 inch Rebel at the start of a northeast storm at 10 PM and The Bass were pushing Mullet into the jetty. Not sure if my memory is correct and I'm wondering if any on here recall that catch. The one thing that's burned in my memory was when I saw that fish at Cambells tackle shop.
