If she is 54" long, then her girth would need to be 35" to be 82lbs..

I can see that . My 42lb had a 28" girth ,and it looks like a minnow compared to that fish !

Why does woody keep talking about CT fish?Nowhere else has consistent fishing like CT besides the Block,August included.
Cowhunter obviously has a boner for Myerson because of the fact he beat him out last year for Angler of the Year. This is petty jealousy and nothing more and regardless of the outcome, it makes Kenny seem like nothing less than a sore loser.He hasn't posted for a while but he is burning the phones and internet trying to discredit this accomplishment.I hope he gets the record just so Ken can eat crow.This way he and all his sycophants will have have whined in vain.If the shoe were on the other foot,and someday it could be,he would recruit more help to surround him.Go cry to On The Water,but they have to play by their own rules and not make exceptions to appease the masses.
I agree with MikeP,this cheaters tournament was tarnished a long time ago and I am glad I got out when I did.

Wasnt even close to Angler of the year, not even in top 5... There were more deserving anglers putting more time in than I was...

I guess when some 60% of the people on the other sites poll see it as BS they are stupid? Monicas fluke was a world record too, everybody that was disputing that was stupid too... This is way above OTW and F&S, this is a World record striped bass we are talking about and the behavior that went along with this fish was extremely suspicious! The pictures do even more to discredit the fish, but I completely understand just how normal all his other fish looked along with this one and just how normal his behavior was. I know youve seen your share and wieghed your share of 40's, 50's and 60's. You can honestly say from all the Photos, interviews from freelance writers who want a story, you are 100% convinced with no doubt that something is a miss? Have you even spoke with anybody thats seen the fish? Its not about jealousy at all, I know I have a better chances of winning a lottery than catching a world record! What injustice would be done to the current World and state records if in fact something was not right here???

Here Chris, You and Greg Meyerson can learn from a much more intelligent person on the proper proceedure of filing for a world record. No Panic Attacks, ER Visits, Games, leader stories, Red mushy or disapearing fish, running from the tackle shops or the press, and no DRAMA, a truly appreciating and deserving angler. Shes only 14, knows how to use a camera, measuring tape and understanding length to fork, length to tip, and girth. followed simple, yet extremely complicated instructions for some. I am confident in saying that probably 100% of striped bass anglers couldnt be happier for a more deserving Angler!

All the Best to You Chris! I hope that you may catch an 80 one day! My days of Com fishing and charters in New England are over bud...

It's official: Vineland girl's 58.29-pound striped bass is a world record - pressofAtlanticCity.com: Breaking News

All the Best to You Chris! I hope that you may catch an 80 one day!

"Once they did, the true measure of the monster became apparent - it was 54 inches long and had a girth of 32 inches. "

That fish was 58 lbs.. Does anyone know the girth on the 81 lb fish??

Got that by reworking the length-girth formula....

(Girth x Girth x Length) / 800 = Weight

SO ...

Girth = Square Root of (Weight x 800) / Length

Please check me on this!!!


PS I keep mentioning CT fish??? So CT is a striper hot bed like BI?? I want some of what you smoke Chris!
