A war bird with 50% in the wreath (half german) my other arm has a 50% worked into Celtic knots (half Irish). My foolish attempts at showing my ancestry about 20 years ago.

It looks like you were a little longer than 42".

As the length goes up, the weight increases exponentially.

Minimum legal size is not very heavy.

Nice catch! I want one of those! Seriously, I would rather have halibut for Thanksgiving
