World Record Fish Caught at Electric Co Outflow
 
While fishing for schoolie striped bass with a freshwater bass rod using 4 pound test NoStrength mono line , six year old Igot Afish hooked into the fish of a lifetime. He was fishing a baked bean on a #16 Sionara large gap hook when suddenly he thought he felt something pull. He started reeling his NFG-atall spinner and his rod tip bent down to the water. What proceeded was the most incredible battle of man against beast that has ever occurred. For seven hours and 43 minutes , he battled the fish. At one point the mighty fish made a ferocious run and nearly pulled Igot into the water. He grasped the rail of the hurricane barrier fence with his teeth as his body was pulled out horizontally over the water. It was an inspiring sight! Finally the great fish tired and Igot was able to get his feet back on the ground. While singing " I've been working on the railroad" he reeled the great fish in . The fish was taken to a nearby solid waste disposal site which had a certified scale and weighed in at ???? . It was identified as the largest ???? ever caught. :)
