Out fishing with my dad Saturday morning. Any guess on what the girth is? It was 54''
Took off strong after a few pictures.

54 we girthed at 22.5" for reference... yours is in that same range, 22 from the looks of it, maybe a touch less... get a tape in the boat

There is no chance that is over 22" pulled snug and measured correctly. I would think that fish is 20.5-21" girth. It would be lucky if it weighed 30lbs.

Nice long healthy fish either way, Congrats!!!

17-28. Seriously my guess was 21-22. No matter how you slice it a 54 is BIG! Nice fish!

like most--I think 22" puts you just about right on-----------If your getting a replica--show the PIC to the Taxidermist--they might also be able to estimate----Not many 54" swimming around that would have much less than a 22" girth-----While that fish certainly isn't FAT--I think 22 is close...
