World Record Striped Bass!
(BUBBA)?

What a PIG !
Al McReynolds pulled this World Record Striper from the Atlantic, fishing at night off the Vermont Ave. jetty in Atlantic City. This catch took place after several days of a September Nor'easter in 1982.

The fish was taken on a 5 1/2-inch Rebel Black-Back Silver Minnow plug on 20-pound test line. It took one hour and 40 minutes to land the fish on the slippery jetty. The fish measured 53 inches in length with a 34 1/2 inch girth, and was estimated to be between 30 and 40 years old. Its 78 lb. 8 oz. weight earned it the IGFA all-tackle record!
