The 74-pound, record-setting striper measured 56-3/4 inches in length and had a girth of 31-1/2 inches. The prior state record of 73 pounds was caught in the Atlantic Ocean about one-half mile north of the 4A buoy, which is located off Fishermen?s Island, by Frederick Barnes of Chesapeake on January 23, 2008.

I once read that back in the late 1800s a fishing vessel log read: 60 stripers caught ranging from 60 - 120lbs. It seems the monsters are coming back!
