The hybrid bass officially weighed 18.82 pounds, which beat out the standing record by only five ounces.⁠ ⁠ Two days after catching the fish, Keith Snider called the Ohio DNR office, then brought the hybrid striper to a UPS to use their certified scales. He photographed the whole process and got an official weight of 18.82 pounds, which beat out the standing Ohio record by just 5 ounces. The fish measured 32 inches long with a 25-inch girth, and DNR biologists confirmed that it was a hybrid striper around 7 years old.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #fishing #fishingtrip #fishingseason #fishinglife #striper #stripedbass #hybridstriper #bassfishing #outdoors #nature #outdoorlife⁠ 📷: Keith Snider⁠ Story by: Bob McNally
