On The Water Magazine hosted their annual StriperFest this past weekend, an event they proclaim to be the biggest fishing party in the Northeast. And this year's was even more special, as Greg Myerson, the pending world-record holder for striped bass with his summer-caught 81.8-pound fish, brought it out for show and tell.
Myerson was entered in the contest, and in addition to being a potential world record, the bass was the largest fish of the season, and received a free replica of his catch. We can guarantee the OTW folks have never commissioned a replica this big.
Team Jersey Shore might not have been the main attraction, but they took home the 2011 cup, awarded to the team that finishes with the top-10 heaviest fish. There was live music, cold beer and good food. – Rick Bach
