Fisherman is 6' approximately 200 lbs. We did not have a measuring stick on board the boat. Caught in Canada during the opening week.

Sorry, having trouble uploading the photo due to the size of the file. I'll try to figure this out......

There is a free download in the tackle/equipment forum at the top of the page to help you with your picture file I believe.

Beautiful fish, and I've never had that fantastic "yap open" shot with any fish. My guesstimate is 45"ish, but super chunky! Congrats. on the fish and thanks for sharing the photo. Speaking of photos....I need to start a post concerning this important issue.

The size of the fishes head compared to it's body is kinda throwing me off... I'd guess 43-44.

Thanks everyone for the size estimates. My friend had to resort to a make-shift measurement using a mark on the butt end of the net. Taking the mark home and putting it next to a tape showed that the fish was 44". The boat later landed a nice 46" which was measured using the same technique. Here is a good mouth shot of the same fish.

Well since that is me and I caught the fish I'm going to say it was 44 inches! Caught her on the 8 on an orange/black M&G which was a blast! Very healthy younger fish which should have potential to break 50 one day.

Here is the other photo that was not included.

I think your safe with calling it a nice healthy 44"er. Messing around from shore I've measured a 40 and 41 with a mark on a stick and a 37 using a mark on the rod I was using. It could be off a bit up to an inch or so but close enough. Congrats on the fish!
