That is a MONSTER! I hope it doesn't get disqualified for any reason.

Good gravy! That's a massive fish!

That's one giant fish ... This post has a video interviewing him and his wife.  The Striper Run in the Hudson is coming soon.  Maybe I can be so lucky.

I cannot imagine having to fight a striper that big... good graciouis.  That this is huge!

OMG!

 

 

 

An article I read said the fish was 45".  Is the fisherman only five feet tall?

 

If he stepped to the left a bit,  you would only be able to see his feet.

Does mustad still run that award for record fish?

How about that. A 65 year old catching a record striper. Old guys rule.

I suspect you will have some kind of smashing smallie record at some point. Your smalljaws are beasts.

Holy Smokes!!! That's exactly twice the size of the biggest striper that I've ever caught, and I thought it was a great battle. I can only imagine what that monster was like!

Wow man....that thing is beasty!

I bet it was a baitfish devouring pig with a massive appetite.

That fish is incredible. Wonder how long the fight took.
