aanderud and Wasterwater "big cat"

[PierBridge]

aanderud and Wasterwater teamed up again this time in aanderud's boat.

I'll let them give the details.

43"x 29" on a quick measurement and release...

Congrats..

The funny thing is that I had to fish in someone else's boat to catch a big one. Originally we measured this fish at 43" by 31" girth but there was no way it was a 50 pounder. Between 40 and 43 is a little more accurate based on the other fish I've seen this spring. We must have been a little off on the girth but it's hard with a metal tape measure. Still my personal best for the year.

Thanks again Brian.
