If she is 54" long, then her girth would need to be 35" to be 82lbs..
If she is 50", then her girth would need to be 36".

Kierran saw the fish. None of the rest of us have. We're operating off pictures, and a lot of them aren't so good. Kierran has the best pictures, IMO.
If Crafty Angler still posted here, he could tell you the saga of me and Big #^&#^&#^&#^& Tremblay, when I questioned the size of Big #^&#^&#^&#^&'s fish based on a bad picture. Fish often look smaller, and thinner, when the guy holding them is a big dude, and Big #^&#^&#^&#^& Tremblay was even bigger than Myerson. Uncle Crafty gave me the needle for months afterwards.
Like I said above--my father knew Charlie Cinto, and Charlie gave him a picture of himself with his 73 pounder. Charlie's a little guy, and his fish looks like it's easily over 5' long when Charlie's holding it up. In reality, it was only 54-55 inches long. Al McReynolds is short and stocky, which also exaggerated the size of his fish, which was "only" 53-1/2" long.
Thankfully, I'm a skinny dude nowaday, so even though I'm on the tall side, a racer would look like it had the girth of an oil drum in my WR pictures.
