Anyone see the Moonrise Last night

Got this one as the moon was coming up last night. Caught 4 others in a 25 minute span that were a little smaller than this one. Guess the length and weight?

Nice Fish! Being that a deck railing is 36 inches I would say that fish is 37-38 inches and about 18 to 20lbs! its hard to tell from a photo

A few were real close. Kind of disappointed felt heavier when I landed it. Must have been the late hour taking its toll on my body. The correct length and weight is:

40"

23 lbs

long and lean

Who cares! fish is not bled,fish is not fileted,fish is dead,fish is a waste! Keep only what you are going eat,let me catch the rest!

Make it idiot proof, and someone will make a better idiot.
