IGFA Records For September 2008

The biggest news at IGFA last month (as far as I’m concerned) was a record striped bass caught within a few hours of where I live. I had heard about this huge fish on the local news a couple months ago, but I wasn’t able to find a picture until today.

Nova Scotia striped bass

    Armed with a Rapala Magnum lure while fishing Canada’s East Bay, Christian LeVatte, of Sydney Forks, Nova Scotia, landed a striped bass (Morone saxatilis) on May 25, weighing 26.25 kg (57 lb 14 oz). It took the young man 30 minutes to land the fish for a possible boy’s junior class record. The current boy’s junior record is 57 lb 0 oz caught off Isabella Beach, NY 10 years ago.
