Here is the article:
NBC -- Juliana Merighi has been fishing since she was five-years-old.Nice catch!
Little did she know that by age 13 she would be breaking world records.
"I don't even think the fish was unhooked yet and I was saying to her, 'Wow, you just achieved what guys in their 70s and 80s have fished their whole lives for and never, never get to attain'," Juliana's father Tom Merighi said.
The bass Juliana caught is almost as big as she is.
The Vineland, New Jersey girl landed a 58-pound striped bass in the Delaware Bay off Cape May County a couple of weeks ago, and as a result she may have broken the junior female record of 47 pounds for a striped bass that was caught off the shore of North Wildwood, New Jersey in 2006.
"When it came up and I saw how big it was, I was like, amazed," Juliana said.
It could take months to officially confirm that this little angler has set a new world record, but the documentation from Juliana's catch already has been sent to the International Game Fish Association.
As for the fish's fate?
Juliana did not taste the fruits of her labor.
