The Fishing Center weighed a pending a 73pound striped bass today. It was the new Virginia state record. The fish was caught off the Country Girl off Virginia near the 4A bouy on a Stretch 30. The angler's name is Fred Barnes of Chesapeake, and the Captain was Pat Foster.

I called the office, once the affidavits have been received, it should be the new Virginia state record. The fish was witnessed by Lewis Gillingham, VSFT Director, and described as being "beautiful, not a scale out of place"! Pat said that the fish hit a white parachute rig that was part of a double parachute rig. It hit as the boat increased its speed to run towards a beehive a swirling gannets.
