Pending IGFA World Record
20 pound Tippet Fly Rod Class
Striped Bass 51lbs, 5oz
Richie Keatley of Norfolk Virginia
Richie was fly fishing with Pete Sileo in his 22-foot boat at the CBBT Thursday evening, December 17th. Using a trolling motor to maneuver around the pilings, he placed his own hand-tied 3/0 Clouser blue-tinted fly in front of a school of big boys. Richie's battle of a life time began when one of those trophies slammed the little fly. After a nerve racking battle, with the fish taking the line around the pilings, and several other "close calls," Richie had the fish boat side within about 30-minutes

According to the IGFA, the largest striped bass caught on a fly (regardless of tippet) is 64 lbs 8 oz
