While scuba diving a few years ago on a wreck to be unnamed; a bunch of divers including myself saw a striped bass that I'd estimate to be well over 100 pounds. The fish was massive and being about 15 feet from it the bass was larger that any mounted striper I have seen by alot. I know everything in the water looks bigger but even if it lost 25% of its size it would still be the world record. Another member on another board also saw the fish while diving there on a separate occasion and we have spoken about it a few times. I have dove there and fished the wreck many times since the sighting and have never seen it again but that one sighting keeps me going back many times every year just in case she is lurking.
