Hard to say. Crappy angle and can't read the tape. From this angle looks like a Racer though, not much girth. I'll take me guess at 23#.

You'd have a more accurate measurement if the tape was under the fish  The curve of the fish is adding a couple of inches. That's why you have to measure under the fish if it's a borderline keeper.
So, figure it's 46-47". As thin as it is, probably mid 30 pound range. |

Just got back from early morning outing.....
got 1 that was 50" measured like that and 45-3/4" measured the right way...
It weighted 35 even...
lots of nice fish all over the place... guy to my right was slinging eels and took a fat cow that could have fit mine in it's stomach...
most of the fish taken looked like they were on a the atkins or something like that... my fish fought hard while the other guy just reeled his to shore like dead weight...
his fish also bottomed the 50#scale.
id say your fish is between 31 and 35..
