Nice fish, congratulation on your new PB.

for those who wanted to know, it weighed in at 30# this morning. but that it also lost 4inches over night. so i would assume it lost some weight too. to bad he couldn't weigh it last night. i was thinkin it might get him to the 35# club. but hell he's the 30# club!

I hate it when fish shrink 4" over night.

Released fish somehow tend to grow 4" over night.

lol. i didnt think it would lose that much sitting in a cooler over night. i was there when he measured it last night. and it was 44 and 1/2. he had to go to work so he had a family member weigh it in today. and thats the report he got..

Did you check it for teeth?

Bass with fangs, and now bass that shrink 4" in a night---you guys must be fishing near a nuke plant

lol i thought of bringin that up. cause this reminds me of that.. we come up with some of the strangest fish stories. but unlike most they are true. thankfully there's a pic of this one. it's probably been chopped up by now.. (hopefully) but it would have been great to get a pic in the same position and see if it actually did shrink or if there is just a measuring discrepancy.

but i swear it was 44 1/2 last night. scouts honor. (i did used to be a scout) i never lie about the size of a fish. my estimations can be way off.. but any time i guesstimate i chop off 2-3inches instead of adding them. (mostly to keep my arse out of trouble if some one wanted some cook out fish, cause so far my three have all been just at or just over. and two dont count cause im counting them at 27. and stickin to it...)

Fish don't shrink in length Chris.....did you guys watch the "how-to" instructional video that came with your tape measure?? Maybe it was one of those "Rhody Tape Measures" we hear so darn much about?

[GonnaCatchABig1]

lol.. i'm not doubting they dont.. i'm giving the shop the 3rd degree tonight on how they measured.


but then again, every one here swears stripers dont have teeth, and i can tell you with 100% certainty i felt them lay into me when i lipped that fish.
