    Default 75.4 lb bass caught off Block Island

    A huge cow bass was caught off Block island 7/18 by RISSA member Peter Vican. It was taken on the SW ledge.

    Fish was caught on an eel.

    More info- amazing fish

    Length-54 inches

    Girth-36 inches

    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.

    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.

    Wow, just incredible. No matter what, have to give this guy credit for using that tackle to pull that cow aboard.

    Default Pete does it again!!!

    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!!!!!!! "

    77lbs 4 oz? So close to McReynolds' record, I think it could be broken soon. Kudos!
