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!

Nope it was this year. I heard from another reliable source the fish measured at 58". It wasn't weighed but estimated between 75-90#. 15#s sounds like a pretty large range, but that is what I heard. Someone could always call Blackbeards in Eastham. I'm pretty sure it was the owner that showed Mark the picture.

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...  |

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.

Yup, I've had one of those, it's like a movie that keeps playing over and over in your head
It always ends the same way, too...  |

This is a Jersey guy who caught this reported 71# in Maryland and released it. Info and pic from another site. Just sharing.........not verifying...
