I think if you back to your bump board and make a rectangle (fill in 2 missing edges) and measure that I think you would be very close. My guess 23". Very nice fish.

Darren,

Do you have the wide board? Think my T's board is 10.5" -11" wide.

I would guess 24" give or take 1/2 inch.

For me, I just don't take a girth unless I have a fish 51.75" or longer.

Lynne had a fat 50.75" last year that I thought was just shy of 40 lbs. I did not girth that fish.

I was told by some experts with this formula, LxGxG% 800, that these really gorged fat fish feeding on oily bait, + a mass of spawn developing, that the formula could be calculated with a division by 760. Either case, Lynne's fish this year made the 40 lb mark at both 800 and of course the 760 divider.

Good job Darren...Nice catch!!!

She's a tank! Way to go! I just caught a fish Friday that had a 24.5" girth.... your fish looks very similar in girth in my opinion.
