Susquahannah River has some giant prespawn fish this time of year. Those that poach in the restricted areas have taken some mid 60's from the shore...

Just my Opinion (.02)
But i think there's allot of 80 lb Striped bass out there
Catching them from shore is not to easy with that kind
of power.
They are the Spoolers and HOOK straightener's  |

Not really... they have power to straighten hooks, they use their broad sides and any structure or current to their advantage, but rarely make long extended runs, fish 50 and over tend to be more like bull dogs, short bursts, a slow circle then another burst...35-45lbs are your spoolers....their big enough broad enough and are in their prime... |
A good run is better than a bad stand!

I dunno, Paul - sounds like a rumor - or somebody reading an old resurrected post somewhere without checking the date
Speaking of rumors, I expect any day now to see unconfirmed reports of a 30# from an undisclosed SoCo location...  |
"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

I agree Chuck. You know what though? I think this is the year that McReynolds record falls.
I had a fish to the stern of the boat last year on a 3 pound Montauk Bunker spoon that was the biggest bass I ever saw. She looked up and stripped a 100 feet of wire and popped an 80# Janka leader. Down in your neck of the woods out of 105 feet of water. I was running a full 300 feet of wire out so I was down about 40 feet.
