Peter Vican, who in 2008 caught a 76-pound, 14-ounce striped bass to set the Rhode Island state record for largest striper, has bested his old mark with a monster 77-pound, 4-ounce fish taken on Sunday, June 19. The fish was caught on a live eel fished off Block Island at 3:30 a.m. If the weigh-in holds up to official scrutiny, the fish would be the second largest striper ever taken on rod and reel, just 1.4 pounds shy of the existing world-record fish taken by Albert McReynolds in 1982.
