New World Record Striper Caught-Can Anyone Confirm

[Fishbone]

Thank you Gerry!! I dont post alot because all of this nonsense.. Lets keep it clean and for once say hey congradulations nice catch!! Dont be a bunch of jealous haters!!

Fishbone - I would not say "jealous haters" since that is drama in my book too.

How about supporting eachother instead of tearing eachother down?

Maybe giving someone the benefit of the doubt before making a public accusation?

If you weren't there or would not say the same thing to someone to their face then lets not post it here.

i would say this is the most "drama" free website in the planet when it comes to fishing communities online.... i rarely and i mean RARELY see any personal attacks towards anyone.. little banter is fun once in a while imho..

That is a huge fish. Its a shame that this guy caught this possible record fish and everyone instantly doubts its size, weigth, how it was caught, ect.
This spring I had my two personal best fish one was 41 and a week later a 44.
I thought the 41 was huge but the 44 did not phase me until it hit the scale. I could not believe that this fish was bigger tham my previous.
The reason I found was that the first fish was longer and skinny giving it a bigger appearance while the second fish was shorter but fat.
Like this fish it may not look real long but that gut alone must weigh 15 pounds.
Congrats none the less.

That would be funny...and fitting if it were you who caught it.

Is there an IGFA entry for banana cod? There is for bergal, why not pout.

Congrats to the angler, I hope he gets the record. If he caught the fish on rod and reel and it is as heavy as reported, he deserves it!

Record or no record.....That is one helluva ginormous fish!!!
Kudos to the angler that fought and landed that monster.
