I have a hard time beleiving fish over 100# are still out there. With the many boats and anglers up and down the striper coast someone would have gotten one by now, even if those monsters stay off shore reports by commerial fisherman would spread far wide. The opinion of a small fish in a big pond means nothin.

durring my sophmore year in college i went down to the chesapeake for the beginning of summer break.. we were out on a boat fishign for croakers and the most enourmous dead striper floated by us. we snagged it and brought it up along side the boat and the thing had to have been over 80 pounds easy.. It was freshly dead and we even inspected its mouth for hookmarks. Nada. After much debate we decided it died after spawning, but man oh man, what a site to behold. After ooing and ahhing, we let it drift down current.

i bet there are a few bass swimming around that are over 100 but i doubt there are many over 110, but who knows.

I've heard some stories that if you want to see some monsters,
Just follow a seiner or gill net boat around when they haul their gear!
