very nice fish and congrats. Just wondering how you measured the fish because it looks a little smaller than a 74 inch fish.

Using the scientifically accepted formula, if 74": 280lbs

Length-Weight estimate Western Atlantic Blue fin (From the journal Fisheries Sciences):

W (lbs) = 0.00004044 * L (inches*2.54)exp2.837 *1.112 *2.2 (lb/Kg)
