That rod and reel looks like a lite setup, wonder how he managed to set the hook with that? Must have been a battle to land that fish.
Wow, caught from a boat? Only a matter of time before McReynolds record is broken. :clapping: :clapping:
looks like a penn reel, the rod looks like a 7 1/2' or 8, maybe that rod is just a prop? wtg anyway, great catch! :thumbsup:
Great fight on light tackle like that, even it it was a boat. Great catch, fish of a lifetime.:clapping::clapping::clapping:
Can't even imagine catching a fish that size! wtg, great fish!:thumbsup:
Wow, just incredible. No matter what, have to give this guy credit for using that tackle to pull that cow aboard. :clapping::clapping::clapping::clapping:
You would have lifetime memories if ever caught that fish, great catch!:drool:
Big fat cow, great catch!:clapping:
This report was 6-19, so I think he got the bass 6-18, 1 month shy of tghe 2 yr anniversary of his last one. So he got not just one, but two, record fish in his lifetime! Congrats, great catch!:clapping::clapping::clapping::clapping:
"Peter Vican of Rhode Island boated a 77 lb. 4 oz. striped bass..! This is a new R.I. state record and just one pound shy of the world record. Peter is no stranger to big bass as he caught a 75 lb fish two seasons ago. Which was the old R.I. state record. He also has many catch and release fitfties to his credit. Congrats to Peter!!!!!!! "
Heard about it, wtg and great catch.
:clapping::clapping: 77lbs 4 oz?:bigeyes: So close to McReynolds' record, I think it could be broken soon. Kudos!
