I wonder if he realizes that a world record Striper could be worth a couple of million $. With endorsements for everything from the hook and swivel to line, rod, reel, dry top, waders, etc, etc. Then there is the tradeshow circuit with the fish mounted plus the writers royalties about the fish, the trip, the fight, articles, books.

I swear I am a greedy Bast**d and the first thing I would do after getting the weight certified would be to get a sports agent.

If it was in MD in the Vicinity of the Susquehanna Flats, it's C&R only right now until 4/30 because the bass are up there spawning.

After i got it weighed and certified it would be sleeping in my bed with me and sitting at the table with me and my girlfriend while we ate. Then I'd be wearing any hat, and using a rod someone paid me to. the thought of making a living through fishing and not working my ass off would be to tempting.

If he even suspected that fish might be a world record and let it go, he's a better man than I.

I release virtually every fish I catch, but if I caught that one it would not be swimming away under any circumstances. That is a life changing fish if it is the record, and it sure looks like it might have been. I'm not sure it is a 100 lb fish, but it sure looks 80 lbs plus.

Wow.

You are dreaming. It's worth very little.

100% legit - I know the "kid", his Dad, and people who fish with them.

They have been coming up this way every year for a week or two since the kid was 2 ft tall - good people, and good fishermen.
