Is that 81.88 lb Virginia striper picture I saw on facebook this morning real, if it is that is one beast of a fish. With all the pressure on this fishery, it's hard to image how a fish that old avoided getting caught or netted.

This is the first I am seeing that pic today, but I feel like I saw it before. Wondering if it is a fake that went around sometime in the past.

That picture was going around last year. I think it was around 50 pounds but the angle of the shot and the maybe the camera lens certainly make it look larger.

Bob, it's an old picture. It's also BS as the fish was 50 something. Think it was photo shopped.

Figured or I’d have seen it mentioned somewhere legitimate, still impressive photo shop picture.

They've netted 'em at over 100.

Surprised it took them this long to break 80.
