You may be right - or not. According to Rick, the angler, weight estimate was based on tables that account for length and girth measurements. The fish was released to fight another day.

Maybe you could post a couple pics of your 40's to give us a better idea of what they should look like?

Best regards,
Roger

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan
