Anybody hear any rumors about a 78# striper taken down south?

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...

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.
