I could see taking a picture of the fish like that. But once I saw the picture, I deleted it.

Like Larry said, 52 and some change. The official weight slip was posted on Instagram I think.

Hard to believe anything on social media today. FB 75# Instagram 52#. Anyway, a big fish that unfortunately, in my opinion, was killed for the picture.

I saw the pic in 4 different sites yesterday- weight was listed as 52 from Virginia. "fish-eye lens" distorts the pic even more

Looks impressive. But, the camera angle thingie makes it hard to visualize the actual aspect ratio. I hope they got other pics. ;-)
