TurnUpTheFishing Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 within and inch of 40 either way.If you want to know a pretty good estimate measure the width of that persons fist in person then take that number and times it by 10 (the amount of fist lengths the fish appears to be).

HugoBox Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I'm going to stay with my guess of 45 when it was in the net. Also the rest of you can't see the blood gushing, but this fish was so hungry it ate right through the glove!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudeness Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I'll say 46. Because you don't push your fish out towards the camera and other people do, and you wouldn't have posted this unless the fish is a different size than it looks. It looks like a healthy upper 30's low 40's. am I right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRedig Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 I wondered when people would start asking...didn't take as long as I thought it would. It's a 41 x 17.5, I was just surprised at how fat this little fish was, it tried to kill a weagle, I swear there was a sonic boom when this fish hit, just exploding on the bait. Super fun, my last 5 fish now have come on topwaters and all very explosive hits, not to mention all the hits that didn't get hooked. No better way to catch 'em!

JimBuck Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Ah, I was off by a .5". I blame it on the tail being cut off in the bottom corner. She is a fat fish though...As for the Topwater, I've been throwing them quite a bit lately and it's moving fish that's for sure. Nothing better than good action on topwater.
