Or was it 2 inches, I can't remember?

Seems 4.5 inches rings a bell too.
http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu228/GregAndrew/P7180679.jpg

No, it was definitely 5 inches.

Now I remember, it was 45.5 inches.

It is all a game of numbers.

Of course it was caught in LJ, thats the only place that holds WSB and 50lb hali's

Matt and I were smart enough to put a gps tracking device on your kayak but leave it up to Matt to use duct tape instead of using my idea and just drilling a few holes and bolting it to the bottom of your yak.....matt said something about sinking or water in the yak so we chose the duct tape idea. The last reading we got was when you were on the 605.

Let's see if I can answer all these questions.

Jim- The fish looked like it had been on a feeding frenzy for a week, but it was all eggs. I never got around to checking the stomach, cause it already took me a while to filet her. The first cut looked like the Grand Canyon with a backbone at the bottom.

Caffeined- Had to bust the gills with my pliers and, with the belly gaff, she just layed there as I twisted and pulled. When I first took the gaff out she gave me a shower and quite a few tugs for the next hour or so. The most pristine healthy specimen I have ever seen, not a mark on her.

Limits- Now that is what I call Dope. Which ramp of the 605 did he launch his center console from?

FishSouthCounty- Nope, I did not go back there, the waves were too small to surf, and the bottom too dirty to get any good video.

DannyN- It could have been better than that. I bled it out for a good 2.5 hours without beating it. And the first weight I got on it was from a "certified" handheld spring scale and read 47#. When I got home I weighed it on both of my digitals and that is weight I am going with.

SDFishin- My previous PB was over 46 inches and under 39#s, so it is hard to tell. A very nice fish no matter what though.

mtnbykr2- Yep, new PB. A good part of the top filets were over 2 inches thick.

Old Man- Any time bud.

Adi- You inspire me.

[mtnbykr2]

Greg..:notworthy: congrats dude..that one will be hard to beat

[roadx]

the old baseball bat? more details please

Two Gameclips, 3 cut gills and 2+ hours of bleeding. The cheeks don't need any tenderizing as far as I am concerned.
