| Description |
N.J. teen hooks monster fish - a 60-pound striped bass
Fishers Island
Caught July 26 2010
New World Junior record
Ted Carroll a 13-year-old Chatham resident caught the jumbo striper in Fishers Island Sound, at the eastern tip of the Long Island Sound, off the New York/Connecticut coast

On Ted Carroll's first cast of the night, he got a lot of nibbles.
On his second cast, a very, very large striped bass went for the live eel hooked as bait at the end of his line.
The 13-year-old Chatham resident reeled in the fish over the next 10 minutes and when it got near the boat, his cousin Rick Carroll, 52, aimed a flashlight at the catch.
"I shined the light on it and said, "Oh my God,''' Rick Carroll said.
