like other's have said, it varies alot. i'd say 48" on average, 47" if it has a big gut. I had a 46" fish go 44.25 lbs last year and it had an 18-20" bluefish in its gut. I also had a 49.5" fish go just over 40 lbs, but it looked thin.
And redlight's right, you'll know it when you see it. A 40 just looks different than a 35, and a 45 just looks different than a 40. I have no experience over that but I assume a 50 will just look bigger than anything else.
