    The article didn't say but I bet it was at least a 12 footer.

    Question

    That is a big striper indeed. But, the picture doesn't make sense to me. The fish is as big as the man in the pic...can't make me believe that man only weighs 63 lbs 8oz??????

    Lightbulb Anchorpuller ....

    that's what some people would call ... trick photography :p - but, it's actually just a "trick" of the eye. The fish is closer to the camera, than the man - so it just looks like it's just as big/long. (like holding your finger out, between your eye and a building .. you KNOW your finger isn't as big as the building) It's just distance and perception - like the TV anglers holding a 3lb fish out towards the camera, and calling it a 5lb'r ....cp
