"top prize, so far..." Now that is true down east modesty and, I guess, optimism when discussing the landing of a fify pound striper on a fly. The record striped bass according to IFGA is 51 pounds.
This fish was likely more like 53 pounds plus with a length of 53 inches and girth of 30 inches. All the formulas I could find put it well over that mark. Quite a fish and we were happy to release it quickly as it had been hooked for some time.
I am a full time fly fishing and light tackle guide on the waters of Casco Bay in Maine with experience since 1963. Full information can be seen at the link listed below in the Links List.
