heres another shot-

C&R guys use this formula- Length X Girth squared, divided by 800 = weight in pounds. I come up with 86 LBS!! if this is true, we are looking at a new world record folks.

Not a beliver in the "Formula", but that is one awesome blimp of a fish. Kudos to them for releasing it too.

not disputing the math,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
as my numbers are the same; YET~~

wasn't the McReynolds Farce caught
on 20#test line?? what test did this boater use?

just curious and unsure of where the IGFA
stands on this one when comparing weights.

ALSO, wouldn't the feesh have to be weighed
on a certified scale to overtake the current WR??

THAT is a BEAUTY, though!!

between man and nature shall not be broken."~~ Leo Tolstoy

Tight Lines, and
Happy Hunting to ALL!

I go back and forth, but I did photograph a 67 pounder this past September, 31.5 girth, 56 length. 69.45 so it's usually close anyway.
