World record fly caught Striper?

It's really too bad you have to keep the fish to claim the record...:-({|=

That was a beautiful fish.

I can't remember if Strippers are an invasive species on the east coast like they are here on the west?

Well, I dunno about "strippers" (although, I'm sure they CAN be quite invasive), but striped bass are native to the Atlantic Coastline of N. America :nod:
