Huge Rhode Island Striper Misses World Record by One Pound | Field & Stream: For the second time in three years, striper fisherman Peter Vican has set a new Rhode Island state record for striped bass—and this time he missed the world record by only a pound. Fishing in the Atlantic Ocean off Block Island, Vican, of East Greenwich, hooked the 77.4 pound striper at 3:30 a.m. June 19, besting by a half-pound the state record he set himself in 2008.
