Answers a lot of questions and rumors. Still amazing that he has like 4 fish over 60 in the past 2 years and holds a full time job. Maybe striper guides in his area need to work harder..*S*

Still hard to believe a 54" striper weighed 81 plus though. It is fat, but doesn't look that fat. I had a fat 55" fish that I had to release out at Nantucket shoals that was maybe in the mid 60s.

Down to a swelte 142 today Al

And I could hold that fish out. I can take a hindsaddle of veal off a double hook above my head and carry it 3 blocks on my shoulder (Done and Done).

My biggest problem is catching a fish

What were you fishing for? That's still a fish of a lifetime. Nice job.

I kinda hope it doesn't stand, just because the previous record has a better story to it, on a rock getting pounded by waves at night on a 5 1/2 inch rebel swimmer on 20lb MONO and a light surf spinner! This guy was eeling with probably a 12" eel and "Myerson, who uses a heavy duty 6-½ foot St. Croix tuna rod and a Quantum Cabo reel spooled with 50-lb. Berkley Gorilla Braid to handle big stripers."
