Default World Record Striper

Probably old news to most but the prior record caught in Atlantic City NJ stood for more then 20 years.

Default World Record Striper

It is true that the 79 plus pound Striper caught in NJ waters held the record for a LONG time. CT now enjoys the slap on the back. I hope the record continues to be broken for the benefit of the health of the species and the glorious pursuit of the angler. the largest striper ever recorded was 125 pds caught in a net. details - www.striperchum.com

WOW!!!!!!:

At Least THREE 100+ Pound Stripers Have Been Documented - When left alone, striped bass can generally grow to lengths of up to 59 inches and weigh 55 to 77 pounds. Oh, but there are occasional monsters. The largest striped bass on record is a 125-pound female caught off Edenton North Carolina in April, 1891. A striper of 112 pounds – said to have been at least 6 feet long – is recorded from Orleans, Massachusetts. A striped bass of 100 pounds was taken in a herring weir in Casco Bay, Maine in the 1880s. Are big stripers unusual? You bet, but in 1876, a haul-seine off the beach of Avoca, North Carolina netted 350 striped bass averaging 65 pounds each. The world record for hook-and-line is 81.88 pounds taken by Greg Myerson fishing off the coast of Westbrook, Connecticut. In the Chesapeake Bay, the striped bass record is just under 68 pounds but bigger fish have been caught and released by both hook-and-line and nets. A 92-pound striper was netted by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources at the mouth of the Patuxent River during a research project in 1995. A replica mount of that fish hangs in the Tawes Building in Annapolis. In May of 1992 Maryland Charter Boat Captain Ed Darwin boated a 56-inch striper that the experienced captain estimated to be more than 80 pounds. Because it was a pregnant female, he let her go. There is purported to be video of that fish. I’ve personally seen fish landed that I think would break the Maryland state record, but because current law requires fish to be killed and doesn’t recognize catch-and-release records, stripers caught during the winter can’t be counted.

The post in regard to the 100 plus Stripers was found based on Chesapeake Bay Gov't data
