8-year-old gets 34-pound striper for possible record
Drew loves to use live mullets for the bull reds that frequent the Lake Catherine area. The first fish that day to snap up the offering was not a redfish but a 33.9-pound striped bass. After about a 30-minute battle, Drew was able to bring the fish to the dock.
With the big striper worn out, Drew stuck the rod in the holder and ran down the pier to the camp for help. His dad, Mike Dubuc, was able to bring the fish on the deck.
Several certified scales later, most marinas only have scales that weight 30 pounds or less, the Gulf striper is a possible No. 6 on the State Top 10 Fish Records list maintained by the Louisiana Outdoors Writer Association. If approved by the LOWA’s Fish Record Committee, the youngster’s striper will be the first to crack the top 10 in 14 years....

So awesome good job bud what a catch!! If you ever come to nevada or Arizona ill take you out for land locked strippers were only 4lbs off a world record land lock 73lbs is the world record our state record is 69lbs and we have 80lbs+ swimming around the Colorado river we get 30+ all the time, now that would be something huge to brag about a 8 year old catching a 40 or 50+ land locked let alone maybe a real record!!!
