#TBT to the IGFA’s oldest standing striped bass record. In August of 1959, Mary R. Aubry set the IGFA Women’s 10-kg (20 lb) Line Class World Record with an incredible 26.08-kilogram (57-pound, 8-ounce) striped bass. She caught the record striper trolling live eels out of Block Island Sound, New York. She was able to land the catch in 25 minutes and brought it in to Doyen’s Store on Fisher’s Island for a certified weight. Although heavier stripers have been caught on lighter line, this record has stood the test of time.
