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.

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. |

Low 40s? I would have guessed 29 to 32 pounds. how many really big fish have any of you acually seen? there is a huge difference between a 40lb bass and a 31lb bass. But congrats, nice fish but not close to a 40 !

Not only are they "offf, but they're convinced they're not off."
"Look at the belly on that fish....has to be at least 40!"
It takes catching quite a few fish to be able to get reasonably accurate, and even then knowlegable folks can be off by 15% very frequently.
I had it at 37 pounds before I saw the answer.

Indeed. This fish amazed me. i really thought, at first, it was high 30s. When I got it in the boat I knew it wasn't but it just looked BIG. I think the real difference was that it had a smallish head, big belly but no shoulders.

I thought it looked like a forty but had the head of a twenty. I didn't know if it was gonna be high or low, but figured it was deceiving.
|
No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

I would have guessed 40 but since I saw you post on another site that it was in the 30s,,,,I knew better!
Awesome fish and informative post, almost everyone added over ten pounds to the fish!
