Congratulations to him 
quite an accomplishment pulling a record striper out of the water.
There must be a 100 pounder out there someplace
I can't believe that was caught in CT in August 
thankfully he's a Red Sox fan too 
Hey Joe, he caught your fish  |

Late July and early August have been the best time for large bass off the reefs in CT, at least for the last few years. Congrats to the angler, and remember when you are stuck in traffic going through CT to the Cape or R.I. that there are no fish in CT! |

LMAO .. it aint over until I stop fishin'.. .. that's the beauty of striper fishing... no fish is too big for the imagination... lest we forget the pair of 100lb ( aleged) fish caught in a sein net in south ( or north, I forget) Carolina.. the a hellof a fish.. I'd like to shake the guy's hand.. he deserves that much. |
A good run is better than a bad stand!

Me, too.
You're known for having a knack at catching large fish, how much BS comes your way? Not realizing that they ruin the experience for themselves as well.
I'm glad and proud to have shaken you're hand , Joe. |

He is having the fish certified by the IGFA for the world record . He said
There’s another rumor he can put to rest: Reports that Myerson won’t enter the fish as a world record? Bunk, he says.
“I’d be an ass if I didn’t, wouldn’t I?” Yet at the same time, he says, “I don’t care about the world record. I broke my all-time record, and that’s what really matters to me.

It's unfortunate, but in a month from now this guy is going to wish he'd never caught it.

Damn shame too because a catch like this should be celebrated, but your right people will question this down to every detail even his character, not to mention the hard core C&R guys.
Good luck to him and again congrats on the fish of a lifetime. |

So because I work for a seafood company I'm automatically disqualified for ever catching the world record striper?

Congrats to the angler. Like Mike said, it was weighed on a legit scale. That's good enough for me unless it's proved otherwise. I hope he's on cloud 9 right now. I know I'd be...

Pig fish. Story is getting weird though. Why not submit it for verification? Makes zero sense. F&S reporting the guy is at a hospital for panic attacks now?
Does kinda look like it was dragged behind a truck though, haha.

"Al McReynolds' 78.8-pound record, caught in Atlantic City, NJ, has stood since 1982. Though many anglers have come close to that mark, it has yet to be topped. Over the years, there have also been a large amount of hoax record catches, though this time, it would seem, evidence is mounting that Stromski has legitmately toppled a record thousands have dreamed of crushing. Actually, I just got word that Stromski Myerson quickly weighed the fish and fled the scene at the tackle shop, so there is still a slight element of shadiness here."
There's something going on here. Why would you kill a big fish like that then say you weighed it then not want to submit for a record.
Sounds fishy.

"*Here's another quick update from a credible source. Mr. Stromski Myerson is apparently being so hounded he's had a panic attack. The fish is supposedly on ice in his truck, which is parked at the hospital where he's in the ER. Still not knowing how legit this catch is, it just goes to show you how powerful this fish is and how crazy people are about it."
WHAT'S NEXT IT GOT EATEN BY A RACCOON?

He should realize that regardless of what he does with the fish he was and is going to be hounded for a long time to come. So he should submit it for the IGFA record and take any money he can earn with it. I feel bad for the guy. This guy played college ball, so he has an education and is having a terrible time with it allready. Imagine what it did to Mcreynolds with his barely thier education.
If he was on a boat he probably has witnesses and I wish him the very best for his catch.

He has 30 days to submit the paperwork, along with a section of line and at least a diagram of his terminal rig, if not the whole rig. I don't think there's any requirement that an IGFA official actually physically inspect or eviscerate the fish. Bear in mind that many WR submissions come into the IGFA's headquarters every year, for both all-tackle and line class records, from all corners of the world, and the IGFA can't possibly inspect every fish. The fish has to be weighed from land on a certified scale. It has to be measured for length and girth, and it has to be photographed. If you have a hand-scale pre-certified by the IGFA, the fish can even be released as long as a third party witness also attests to the fish. So obviously, a fish doesn't have to be cut open and checked for weights. I have 3 friends who hold or have held IGFA line class records, and none of their fish were inspected by anyone after the weighing/measuring/picture taking. One was eaten later the same day.
My guess is that Myerson took his fish home to weigh his options, and to give himself time to think about how much bull#^&#^&#^&#^& he wants to take. I'm seriously doubting the "credible source" who claims he went to the hospital with a panic attack. This isn't the guy's first trip to the rodeo.
Oh yeah--and based on the last picture that John posted---I have no doubt that the fish goes 81.88 lbs.

This. He's already under huge scrutiny. At the very least it needs to be looked at by state biologists, other witnesses, etc. If he just runs home with it and doesn't allow it to be examined he's going to be called a cheat by many for the rest of his life.
Doesn't add up though- why not care about the IGFA record, but still care about the Cup? I think the IGFA would be 10x more important than the cup- which'll just net him a GPS and a fiberglass mount... Obviously notoriety is important to him, he made a name for himself last year, and is continuing it this year. He doesn't fish for a team. While it's great to have a shot at winning $10k, the endorsements from being the world record holder would be worth so much more.
I don't doubt that he caught it or the weight- the whole thing just seems odd to me. |
