As a young angler Amber M. Rooney, Wall Township, N.H., USA has jump-started her early love for fishing by landing a striper and possibly her first IGFA record. Using menhaden for bait while fishing New Jersey's Shark River and guided by Rory T. Rooney Jr. she landed the striped bass (Morone saxatilis) on June 10th weighing 22.23 kg (49 lb, 0 oz) for a possible female smallfry class record.  She's hoping it beats the current IGFA record of 42 lb 9 oz caught off Long Beach, N.Y. last year.
