Word on the street is that a potential world record striped bass was caught today in Connecticut. Lee Tolliver from The Virginian-Pilot seems to have the 1st bit of news. See it here
"According to Connecticut-based OTW writer Kierran Broatch: This morning, Striper Cup angler Greg Myerson weighed in a striped bass that registered 81.88 pounds on the scale at Jack’s Shoreline in Westbrook, Connecticut – almost 12 hours after it had been landed Thursday evening aboard a boat in Long Island Sound. If the fish had been properly documented, it could have been eligible for the world record. However, at the moment Myerson has decided to take the fish home at not pursue record certification."
The latest is that Myerson is pursuing the record certification and already has the documenttion ready to go. Just have to wait for the 60 day IFGA review now.
