Since 1982 there apparently has been only 1 Striped Bass caught and verified that exceeded the 78.5# world record It did not become the new IGFA record because it was caught in a net by the Maryland DNR during a research project around 1995.
The Striped Bass was a massive 92 pounds and hangs on the wall of DNR in Annapolis, MD
