I just did the math using the length x girth x girth method assuming 60 inches long with a 30 inch girth - the formula would put the fish at 67.5 pounds. Pure assumption - I haven't seen the fish and do not know the dimensions. Just speculating - WOW... Nice Job Warren  |

what if it comes in at 32.5 girth........... 
No matter what the girth, a 60" fish is just amazing.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

this thread should answer any question as to "why would you kill a 50 or 60# fish". If you claim to have caught it, and it isn't weighed in, I doubt you caught it!

rather be fishin'
