ICYMI: George Bruggeman of New Carlisle, Ohio reeled in a record setting striped bass this fall while fishing a favorite spot at Kiser Lake. He was actually fishing for bluegills and yellow perch at the time, thus the huge striper was hooked with a spinning rod spooled with eight-pound Trilene line tipped with one-half a night crawler for bait. The fish measured 41.81 inches long and 27.36 inches in girth and was confirmed by our staff in Xenia.
