New World Record Striper Caught-Can Anyone Confirm

[Gerry Zagorski]

You know what is really discouraging to me??? This guy catches what could be a world record fish and people are already pissing on his parrade.

How about congrats, nice fish...

Really growing tired of all the drama here lately. It needs to stop.

[Captain Chris]

He waited 12 hours to weigh in and is not looking pursuing world record certification. Interesting.

I always thought that if the world record striped bass was broken that the internet woudl have to be un-plugged there would be so much finger pointing and drama! Will this turn into a Monica world record fluke fiasco???? only time will tell. could make for an interesting weekend on the fishing boards. $5 says someone on some board will claim that he is a commercial fisherman....

Don't look that big at all???

Unless he is like 6'6'', it does not look like an 80lber when you compare it to his height and then his fingers under the fish.

I pity him. Now all the idiots that couldn't catch a cold will accuse him of all kinds of crap!

It probably would have helped if he didn't go to the hospital with a panic attack immediately after weigh in. Also he already had a 57 and a 60 plus this year which is a hell of a run.

[Capt Sal]

Does not look any where near 80lbs.I have seen many 50 lb bass and a few 60lbs need more info like length and girth.Curios to say the least.

Nice fish
Scales don't lie, fishermen do

I congratulate the angler for catching the beast. But why the hell keep a fish that big unless you're going to challenge the record???
