On Thursday night, Greg Myerson caught what just might be a record-setting striped bass at 81.8 pounds in the waters off Westbrook, according to Jack’s Shoreline Bait & Tackle in Westbrook. It was weighed in on Friday morning. If the fish was properly documented, it would be eligible for a world record, [url "http://www.onthewater.com/fishing/81-pound-striped-bass-update/"]On the Water reports[/url], but Myerson took the fish home rather than pursue the official record. The existing record is 78 pounds, set by a New Jersey fisherman in the 1980s. [url "http://www.ct.gov/dep/cwp/view.asp?A=2696&Q=322742"]The official state record[/url] for a striped bass is 75 pound, 6 ounces, set by Steven Franco in 1992.
