Nice fish...if you're a real fisherman you would call it 30lbs

If he was a real fisherman he would call it 30+ lbs and leave us guessing

I estimate a fish that size lost about 12lbs of blood, pee, and poop combined. Let's call it 40.

When I got it to the surface, the stomach was turned inside out and sticking a foot out of it's mouth. I didn't think about it then, but when I gutted it the guts were small because the stomach was empty. 40 at least!:

:I've been wanting to use that little WSB icon for a long time!

the fish looks like the skin is dry so it definitely lost some moisture. With that being said my guess is that it would have been over 50.............on a bathroom scale.

Welcome to the 50lb club!!

Welcome to the 50lb club!!

I believe we can take this to the bank. The one time I met you was about 4-5 years ago in LJ. I watched you pull in a YT, the a little while later I heard a banging noise. I looked over and you were whacking a nice Hali to make it dead. Obviously you're a man of experience when it comes to big fishies!
