81lb Bass?
Anyone hear this rumor? OTW is alleging it has been caught and weighed. Possible Striper Cup fish...? No idea of the veracity of this story, they posted it on Facebook with details to follow.

How many sash weights do you need to stuff into a 50 to get it to 80?

Lets hope this doesnt ruin the guys life... lets see.... does he have a brother who works on a dragger? Does he work at a fish market? I really hope people embrace this for what it is.. a hell of an accomplishment and not try to debunk his catch.

I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully the guy can enjoy the catch of a lifetime without all the nonsense that will likely go along with this. |

That fish would spend the day with me. I would have pictures of me mowing the lawn with her, eating lunch, watching TV, wearing a seatbelt next to me. Id use an entire memory card on that beast.

Jesus---Bizarro-world seems to be all around today. Now OTW is reporting that the dude decided that he didn't want to submit the fish for the record, and took it home with him. Now the rumor mill is really gonna get cranked up. |

Now they are saying it was from a boat?
This morning, Striper Cup angler Greg Myerson weighed in a striped bass that registered 81.88 pounds on the scale at Jack’s Shoreline in Westbrook, Connecticut – almost 12 hours after it had been landed Thursday evening aboard a boat in Long Island Sound. If the fish had been properly documented, it could have been eligible for the world record. However, at the moment Myerson has decided to take the fish home at not pursue record certification. Here’s a photo of the fish, taken earlier this morning.

I'n not saying it's not true, but that fish just does not look that big. Look at it compared to Al M's fish. Either way, if the scale says it, we should respect it.

Al is pretty short, couple inches shorter than you IIRC. This other fellow looks pretty tall - kudos to him.
In the end, this fish will be highly scrutinized. Hope for his sake that all goes well. We should give this guy the benefit of the doubt unless proven otherwise. |
