I don't know Greg, if I remember you didn't get a fork length but I did get an official fork length. I did measure the overall length myself but that can't count especially since I simply laid the tape on top of the fish and not beneath it. I think your fish would've had a fork length of at least 43.5" so if it's a tie then you lead by the extra 2 pounds. Kinda close to call. I wasn't thinking of the yearlong anyway, just the canal bonus. I figure someone will get a bigger fish by the fall. There are still a few 40s out there somewhere. I hope I'm fishing with someone from the board next time, so I can release the my next milestone fish and get a picture instead of thinking about killing it. I seem to remember why we chose to go by length instead of weight since it would be less harmful to the fish if we plan on releasing it if it's just measured and not hung on a scale.
