Hard to say. Crappy angle and can't read the tape. From this angle looks like a Racer though, not much girth. I'll take me guess at 23#.

You'd have a more accurate measurement if the tape was under the fish ;) The curve of the fish is adding a couple of inches. That's why you have to measure under the fish if it's a borderline keeper.

So, figure it's 46-47". As thin as it is, probably mid 30 pound range.

I need one that has actually eaten something besides what I caught it on in the last 3 mo. :mad: the heads on these fish are beyond large but there all as skinny as a supermodel i need a porkey guy the tape is just a tiebreaker in case the guys have a fight over who buys the first round a ZACHARY'S;) ;) :happy:

MikeP has the right idea :)
Best guess for me right around 34 pounds

Just got back from early morning outing.....

got 1 that was 50" measured like that and 45-3/4" measured the right way...

It weighted 35 even...

lots of nice fish all over the place... guy to my right was slinging eels and took a fat cow that could have fit mine in it's stomach...

most of the fish taken looked like they were on a the atkins or something like that... my fish fought hard while the other guy just reeled his to shore like dead weight...

his fish also bottomed the 50#scale.

id say your fish is between 31 and 35..

Hi J. Looks like a 30+ pound fish to me. Nice catch even if they are critical of you they still love you;) Keep those fish coming. Good job.
