77.4 lb bass new RI state record!
Wow what a fish!
We’re gonna need a bigger pin.
After fishing the tournament three years in a row, Peter Vican didn’t get around to signing up for the Striper Cup in 2009. That was when he caught the Rhode Island State Record, 76-pound, 14-ounce striped bass. After a little razzing from OTW’s general manager, Neal Larsson, when signing up for the 2010 Striper Cup, Vican predicted, “You’re going to have to make a 70-pounder pin.”
The weigh slip arrived this morning at OTW headquarters. The fish, a leviathan among striped bass, outweighed the previous largest Striper Cup weigh-in by nearly 10 pounds. The fish, a stocky 52-incher, outweighed his previous fish by almost a full pound. The fish, at 77.40 pounds, was one midnight snack away from being the biggest striped bass ever caught on rod and reel.
Here are the pics!

Congrats Pete on the fish of a lifetime. If anyone gets the world record this or any other year, you would deserve it.

Congratulations. I remember reading about him a few years ago. He does his homework and allegedly throws some bass back that tcould not qualify to be a record.
