Don't know the weight, I never weight em on the boat if I'm going to release them. I've released tons of 40" - 48" fish over the years, so most likely around 40 pounds.
I'll tell you one thing though. If 9 out of 10 of all the fish I ever let go died I would be absolutely pissed off. I hope those numbers are way off, or unfortunitly I'm going to start killing a lot more fish. Yes it will go back into the food chain, but I would much rather see a nice striper eaten by my friends or family than a bottom dwelling scavenger, or a Dogfish!
