In todays issue, December 2, there is the story of a 66lb. striper caught in the Delaware Bay on November 24. The angler said he caught it with bunker in the 60 foot slough. The Press, Atlantic City, N.J. ran the story.

According to various sources, this may be the biggest striper ever taken on hook and line in the bay's history.

The Angler is from Middletown, Del.

yea that's the biggest I ever recall in the bay. The last biggest was like 62.5 lbs. I still remember the gal's name, Jodi Clarkson.

I remember that catch- she got it from the spot I fished all season that year.

The 66 was this fella's first striper, according to the post on striper forum. He should have gone directly to the casino afterward with that kind of luck.:)

The Angler is from Middletown, Del. Hello Bob In 1994 I held the record with a 50 pounder caught off thopmson beach. that was in October. In lat December of 1994 my record was broken, with a 57 pounder caught at 1 buoy. Who knows next spring or summer the world record could come out of the delaware bay,

O.K. Ross. Maybe next year you can top the 66 pounder, and be king of the bay again. Good Luck, that is a lot of what it takes. Keep in touch, and have a happy Holiday Season. See you in the spring.:)
