Recently had an old timer give me an old Penn reel Catalog from 1963.
It has a page dedicated to the top 20 striped bass taken up to that year. 16 0f the 20 were taken using Penn Reels. The bass in order were: 73 by Church (Cutty 1913), 68.5 by Gray (Truro 1958), 66.8 by Nee (Vineyard 1962), 66.4 by Mularczyk (Gay Head 1954), 66 by Hunsinger (Montauk 1961), 65.10 by Cordeiro (Ptown 1962), 65.4 by Cook (Cutty 1961), 65 by Clarke (Beavertail 1936), 65 by Olson (California 1951), 65 by Levesque (Charlestown RI 1960), 65 by Paterson (Pt Judith 1962), 64.14 by Katine (NY 1958), 64.8 by Brown (Gay Head 1961), 64.8 by Webb, Rosa (Truro 1960), 64.8 by Webb, David (Truro 1960), 64.4 by Lane (Montauk 1958), 64 by DeForest (Truro 1960), 64 by Crandall (Cutty 1962), 64 by Sparuk (Cutty 1962), 63.12 by Donon (Middletown RI 1958). Interesting bit of history.
