Nice fish Paul.
Lots of reports of large NEW fish heading into RI waters soon. This is good news for those anglers targeting the big girls.
Happy Independence Day, especially to those who served.

OK, times up.
I am just a skosh under 5' 10". I weigh 202.
The fish weighed, on 3 different scales, one cerified, all digital.
31 and 1/2 pounds.
It takes a really BIG fish to make 40.
It was a nice fish and a great fight but 31lbs 6 oz is the weight.

With that belly I would have guessed a lot more, 40# anyway. Still, a wicked nice fish.

Very nice fish! From the profile, I would have guessed an honest 40. Your post goes to show that without weighing their fish, a lot of guys are proably a bit off when claiming they take 30 and 40# fish.

I couldn't agree with you more.
Nice one Paul, I would have guessed in the 40's. |
