Blair with his record 56 pound bass You may have a good fishing story but few of them could top that of Greg Blair’s whose landed the new state record for striped bass.  Blair, from bradleyville, landed the fish out at the upper end of Bull Shoals and its over 56 pounds and almost 4 feet long. 

Blair says the fish is now at Bass Pro in Springfield where they’ll make a replica for the museum as well as for him. 

This thing is bigger than one of Greg’s children.  Check out the photo .
