To John and all on the board -

I swear the fish was exactly 36 pounds! The captain (Dan Wood, who is awesome) had a 60-pound boga-grip, and he was surprised at the weight, so I took out my Berkley digital scale, and it said exactly the same thing. After hearing all the doubts, I put 35 pounds of Olympic weights in a sack and weighed it, and the scale was dead on!

John, I'd like to e-mail you a photo and hear what you think. I'm at jamiefishing@aol.com, or can I put the photo here somehow?

#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, if you bet your life that this fish wasn't 36 pounds, you lose! You catch more keepers in 1 season than I do in 10, but just because you haven't seen it doesn't NECESSARILY mean it doesn't exist.
