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.
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!
Great fight on light tackle like that, even it it was a boat. Great catch, fish of a lifetime.
Can't even imagine catching a fish that size! wtg, great fish!
Wow, just incredible. No matter what, have to give this guy credit for using that tackle to pull that cow aboard.
You would have lifetime memories if ever caught that fish, great catch!
Big fat cow, great catch!
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!
"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.
77lbs 4 oz? So close to McReynolds' record, I think it could be broken soon. Kudos!
