do the math on this one..

[Nebe]

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.

That fish is purty...and caught in a jon boat to boot.

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!!

wow....what a fish! ......and she's still swimming . hats off for a job well done.

[NIB]

Wow.It looks like a pig.I don't have as much a problem with the formula as I do the measurement part of the formula.I have seen many different ways to measure a fish.Some are not so good.Thats besides the point anyways.It sure looks like a nice fish.
Nebe,What other info can you give on it..

[Nebe]

chesapeake, boat, released after measuring and photo...thats all I got NIB

that guy is the captian sullyburger of fishing in my eyes.. takes a confident guy to let a fish like that swim away..

I think it was caught on a 14 inch surf hog pleasure stick

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.
