Westbrook, Conn. (WTNH) - A striped bass that could break the world record was caught in the waters of the Long Island Sound in Westbrook.

According to the Jack's Bait and Tackle in Westbrook, the striper caught by Greg Myerson of North Branford weighed in at 81.88 pounds.

The current record holder is a 78.8 pound striper caught in New Jersey in 1982 by Albert McReynolds.

I've caught a lot of nice stripers but that toad is about as big as my three biggest combined!

Thank Harry!

Good heavens! Makes my arm hurt just looking at it. Imagine reeling that big bugger in.
