So because I work for a seafood company I'm automatically disqualified for ever catching the world record striper?

Hey Joe, he caught your fish  |
Late July and early August have been the best time for large bass off the reefs in CT, at least for the last few years. Congrats to the angler, and remember when you are stuck in traffic going through CT to the Cape or R.I. that there are no fish in CT! |

And the bad news is it'll be replaced by all sorts of bull #^&#^&#^&#^& about the Stromski fish. 
It was stuffed. It was full of sash weights. It was caught in the EEZ. It was caught in a net and given to him by a (friend, brother-in-law, cousin, ET off an alien craft--take yer pick) and that's why it looks like crap in the picture.
I guarantee you'll hear all of those and more before the weekend's out. Half of the fishing world hasn't heard about it yet. |

Congrats to the angler. Like Mike said, it was weighed on a legit scale. That's good enough for me unless it's proved otherwise. I hope he's on cloud 9 right now. I know I'd be...

If you get a potential world record fish and want to weigh it in, you gotta have your A-game on on how you handle the whole deal. Call in for 200 lbs of ice, cooler when you get to the dock. Document everything in detail, state biologists on site asap, ect.! The more solid evidence the better!

Weighing on a certified scale is not enough for me. I trust the weight of the scale BUT the internals, guts, along spine, ect. of the fish NEEDS to be checked out. If all goes well, you gain a TON of credibilty.

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.

when a world record fish is caught like this or any other, the igfa verifies all the details.
heres the paperwork that needs to be filled out, its pretty thorough.
http://www.igfa.org/PDF/IGFA_Record_...ation_2011.pdf
read the top part of page 1, they will subject you to a ploygraph if need be.
Hopefully he comes away from this with the new record.
if they open it up and its got 5 lbs of lead form yo yo bunker bunker but he has nothing to do with it, that would suck for the angler |

"Al McReynolds' 78.8-pound record, caught in Atlantic City, NJ, has stood since 1982. Though many anglers have come close to that mark, it has yet to be topped. Over the years, there have also been a large amount of hoax record catches, though this time, it would seem, evidence is mounting that Stromski has legitmately toppled a record thousands have dreamed of crushing. Actually, I just got word that Stromski Myerson quickly weighed the fish and fled the scene at the tackle shop, so there is still a slight element of shadiness here."
There's something going on here. Why would you kill a big fish like that then say you weighed it then not want to submit for a record.
Sounds fishy.

You catch a beautiful fish and you need to be subjected to filling out a pile of paperwork for it??? Sca-rew that!! I would do just what he did....take my fish and go home! He knows he caught it and that would be enough for me were I in his shoes!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

"*Here's another quick update from a credible source. Mr. Stromski Myerson is apparently being so hounded he's had a panic attack. The fish is supposedly on ice in his truck, which is parked at the hospital where he's in the ER. Still not knowing how legit this catch is, it just goes to show you how powerful this fish is and how crazy people are about it."
WHAT'S NEXT IT GOT EATEN BY A RACCOON?

Pig fish. Story is getting weird though. Why not submit it for verification? Makes zero sense. F&S reporting the guy is at a hospital for panic attacks now?
Does kinda look like it was dragged behind a truck though, haha.

LMAO .. it aint over until I stop fishin'.. .. that's the beauty of striper fishing... no fish is too big for the imagination... lest we forget the pair of 100lb ( aleged) fish caught in a sein net in south ( or north, I forget) Carolina.. the a hellof a fish.. I'd like to shake the guy's hand.. he deserves that much. |
