Peter Vican of East Greenwich, Rhode Island Sets Striper RI State Record on a Penn Reel

Peter Vican of East Greenwich, RI landed this 76lb. 14oz. monster while fishing the 4th Annual Block Island Volunteer Firemen's Tournament on July 19th 2008. He and his fishing partner Don Smith won three of the four tournaments. During the tournament last year they out did themselves. Here is their story:

“We had been fishing different spots around the island since sundown looking for a bass over 40 pounds. We had come close to that weight but felt we needed something over 40 pounds to be in contention for the winning fish.

We moved to one of our tried and true spots that we nicknamed the “Nest”. We made three or four drifts over the Nest with mixed results. If we drifted towards the inside of our mark we didn’t get any hits at all. If the drift were to the outside of the mark one of us would get a hit.

By 1 AM the water was as flat as glass, the drift was just about nonexistent and the bite fell off. I had an eel on my rig that was almost dead from being taken by three bass on previous drifts. I put my rod in the rod holder and picked up a bottle of water from the cooler for a drink. All of a sudden the rod bent over and line started screaming off the spool at an alarming rate.

It took some effort for me to get the rod out of the holder and I held the rod tightly while the fish stripped off line. We fish with rods rated for 12 to 25 lb. line, and I use a Penn 560 Slammer spinning reel. By the time the fish stopped her run my reel was almost empty of line. For every ten yards of line that I reeled in the fish took back five with very little effort.

I was surprised how easy the fish slid into the net. Don rested the handle against the side of the boat, holding it with one hand while he grabbed the rim of the net with the other so he could lift the fish into the boat. He couldn’t lift the fish because the rim of the net started bending and had to use both of his hands on the rim to keep it from bending under the weight of the fish. As he struggled to lift the fish into the boat I grabbed the handle of the net and helped to lift the fish out of the water. As Don swung the fish onto the deck he said to me that the fish had to go at least 60 pounds. I looked at it and said it was probably closer to 50. Don noted that the fish was as big around as my waist and I quickly replied “Maybe yours but not mine. I’m a lot thicker than the fish is.” My observation turned out to be correct, the fish’s girth measured in at 34 inches. Don glanced down at his watch and said the entire fight had lasted just over 30 minutes.

The fish was too big to fit in the fish well so we wrapped it with wet towels. We weighed it in at 7 AM the next morning at Twin Maples Bait Shop on Block Island. The fished weighed 76 pounds 14 ounces; measured 54 ¾” long and had a 34” girth. It was a new Rhode Island state record and the second largest striper caught on rod and reel according to IGFA records. “

Penn Fishing Tackle History

Shortly After the first World War a young German immigrant named Otto Henze took a job in a Philadelphia fishing reel factory. His dream was to one day own a company that built fishing reels people would set world records on. In 1932 that dream became a reality when Henze founded Penn Fishing Tackle Manufacturing Company based out of Philadelphia. Penn has always been branded as a “Saltwater” fishing company with the intent of equipping consumers with gear that can bring in any size catch. Penn Senator and International reels are known around the world as some of the toughest, most reliable reels ever made. Today more than 800 IGFA world records in nearly every classification have been set using Penn Reels. We are continuing with our most aggressive product development plans ever and you can count on Penn to lead the market with innovation and quality. No matter where you fish, or what you fish for, look to Penn to perform flawlessly now and in the future.
