Well it was just a matter of time, I was sure you would do it!

Watching the Cowboy game I thought I would check out the fishing reports before I hit slumberland. Hello earth to Texoma . . . I am wide awake now. What a fish!

Nice goin Chris!!!

It was insane...landed by Barbara Pope after a back and forth epic battle! We had to "wicked tuna" the beast in. If you a fan of the show you know what I mean. I'm tired after all the fishing,cleaning,running around to certified scales and getting paperwork to Oklahoma then my sons b-ball game I will upload more pics etc later but yes it is awesome indeed.

It was an epic fish. I went to his dock and saw it with my own eyes. Great fish Chris.

congrats, chris!

Holy [censored]. I'm on my way

You both done good.

great catch. what a beauty

Holy Cow batman...what a fish!! Congrats Chris!!

Congrats to Chris and Barbara Pope. What a beast......an absolute beast. So this breaks the Oklahoma record of #24+ lbs by a significant margin. WTG!

Chris, I sent you a private msg about doing a fish print (for free) if the fish is not being mounted and is still intact. Thanks and congrats again.

Great fish!

Great fish,

Awesome catch and congratulations on the record!

Beautiful fish man congratulations..

Copy and paste link

On water the moment we landed her 28lb 13oz,hours later on dock 27lb 12oz,then 27.29 on certified scales that apparently have not been serviced in proper time and finally 24lb 11oz after almost 24 hours later on scales that were current. Always gonna be 28 to us but a record non the less. Will post lots pf pics and vids when I get time. Here's a link to news story...

That is awesome Chris. I can just imagine the excitment you were going through when it was finally landed.
Wish we had a video of you at that moment.
It was only a matter of time that your boat would set a record.

Great fish Chris what bait did you catch it on?, I was with Jeff Forman last Tuesday and we talked to you out there that was a good day too for some solid 10 to 15 lb stripers.

Congrats to Chris at Striper Express and Barbara Pope who caught the record Striper! Lake Texoma is definitely in an "up cycle" for really Big striped Bass... and these fish will only get bigger and heavier as the female fish develop their eggs in Dec to April! Make sure your tackle is now ready to handle a fish well over 20 pounds! Gotta get on the water soon!

Thx everyone!

There is a picture of thr fish and the lady who caught it in the outdoor page of the sports section of the Daily Oklahoman newspaper today along with a write-up. Good publicity for Chris. Congrats Chris. He is a great guy yo fish with.

That's awesome! Big congrats for landing something meaner and faster than a torpedo.
