According to the email I got from Gary, it was 51#, 53" long and had a 29" girth. Awesome fish for a great guy.

Nice PB and even sweeter taste being on your own plug! Big bait:big fish, think I heard that somewhere.....maybe from Gray?

Awesome fish! It makes that big plug look small.

Just kidding... Awesome catch, congrats!
So funny.

Shore fish don't count, especially ones caught on self-made wood!!

Seriously, that is amazing. A huge fish that you should cherish forever.
