Check out these numbers: "The IGFA all-tackle world record striped bass! This massive fish was caught at night by Al McReynolds off of the Vermont Avenue jetty in Atlantic City, New Jersey. He was fishing during a September 21st 1982 Nor'easter storm. It weighed in at 78-1/2 lbs., was 53" long and its girth was measured at 34 - 1/2"."

Only 53"!! What a girth.

Way to go Jake on a great fish and her future offspring (maybe like breeding thoroughbreds, it is in the bloodline).

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

Honestly guys, I really don't care what she weighed. I'm confident I got an accurate length measurement with a minimal amount of trauma to the fish. I've measured fish like that before, and I know what she looked like laying on top of me.

Plus...

I got to watch her swim away,,, and that's what mattered most to me. It's nice to see most folks appreciate that. Thank you!
