Not to be an A-hole but if that fish is 30lbs then I'll eat one of those live scup.... even the max on length weight for 39" is 27lbs...

I have seen a 40" fish go 29.5 pounds. I hate it when people are so quick to judge another when they post a pic of their fish with weights and lengths.
No different than humans....take 2 people that are 5'6" and one can weigh 150 pounds while the other weighs 175 pounds.....and they LOOK the same!!!!
P.S. Bassyius....nice fish!

Its a nice fish...but i have NEVER seen a fish that size go 30..ever. It could have i guess, but it doesnt look overly fat..and to be 30 it wud have to be a SLOB!
Come to thnk of it ive never seen a 42" go 30...
Regardless, like i said...Nice fish!

A 39" fish could go 30#---pre-spawn, carrying its winter fat and loaded with roe.
I've caught many 30# fish--the shortest one was 43".

I'm with chef... my shortest 30# fish was 42.5" 31 Pounds this past May.
And it was a shore fish  |

I hate to pile on but that fish is no more than 20-21# tops. Maybe a typo?
Still a nice fish though  |

Who cares what it weights. The guy is pumped he caught a damn nice fish. But of course, the so called "experts" have to make a stink because it doesnt look like the weight he claims. Who really cares!? Its a nice fish, leave it at that.

First off, nice fish and glad you enjoyed the hunt.
I really don't want to see this thread go down the tubes over fish size. Though it looks like the scale might be off a bit there is a chance the pic makes it look a lot smaller. Remember when Eben made that 20 inch fish look like a 30#er   ? |

I caught a 35" 25# fish 2 years ago. 40" 30# can definitely happen. He is supporting most of the fishes weight under the gut. So I think it is hard to judge the fishes girth. If he was lipping it, people would have bashed him for holding the fish wrong. Nice fish!
