New world record striper ???

[Harry]

Rumor has it a lucky fellow in Conn. Caught a pending world record 81 pound striper....hum.

This should be interesting. I knew it was coming as another guy up north caught one about 2 pounds under a month ago.

Nice job if its true !!*Cheers*

Ha,
The way things have been going I don't even think I could catch a cold.*kickrock*

Sounds like the guy got spooked by all the attention. Had a panic attack and has gone into hiding. Oh well, wish him the best. This should be a good thing, not a cause for worry.
