You got a picture? I would love to see that fish. The fish in my avatar is 31# and 39 inches long.
that's why i weighed it, my man!! i'll bring the pink OTW slip to The Fest, what a noggin' on that cruiser, too!! i could not find the camera that night before i went out, but a friend of mine took a rigored-up shot before we cleaned it. there was nothing in her belly, weird, huh? this fish looked heavier on the water than she really was, no girth measurement, and she was a pig!! i had to get to work and was in a hurry to get her back on the ice.

i only kept her because i ALWAYS keep my first keeper of every year.
goes back to my Choctaw heritage and my thanks to God for providing me with a small portion of His Glorious bounty!!

am kicking my self for not being more thorough with the pix and a girth size, now that you mention it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
