I never keep or weigh blues so I'm not sure, but if I catch a real big one I'll often measure length just for fun. I've caught many in the 36-38 inch range and fat. So maybe 17-18 pounds or so might be the biggest?

All from shore.....those alligator sized ones fight like crazy.

38" 18 Pounds 2 years ago on one of my poppers... I thought sure it was 35 pound bass... would've weighed more but it spit up 2 coffee cup sized balls of bunker.

My friend caught one a few years before on a deadly #^&#^&#^&#^& that measured 46" he released it... had to be close to that 28 pound record if not way over... what a horse!
