I'd like to see that fish next to the 41 pounder in the other thread.

I was actually 300lbs about a month ago...another 40 to go and I'll be happy. I weighed her at QL so I'm pretty sure it's legit. She sat on the rocks for about 2 or 3 hours but I didn't think she'd loose all that much. My fish guesstimating sucks..I was thinking at least 30-35lbs

First, congrats on that awesome fish. 44" is a long fish to only weigh that much, but whatever, still awesome!!

Second, congrats on losing the weight. I am 6'4" and I too, was once 300 lbs. Been hovering happily around 240 lbs. for almost two years now. Keep it up, you can do it. My one suggestion is that if you mess up one day, do not give up, just pick it up again the next day.
