Mr. James R. Bramlett of Dora With the New Alabama State Record and IGFA Landlocked Striped Bass World Record
This 70 pound monster caught on the Talapoosa River on 2/28/13 crushed the old state record by 15 pounds and is 2.5 pounds larger than the current World Record of 67.5 caught in California back in 1992....Interestingly enough, Mr. Bramlett , 65, was encouraged by his spouse to go fishing! You never know.........
