Spent alot of time reading posts, trying to learn how and where to try and catch one of these, thanks to those who post.
Had her back in the water in minutes.
Any ideas how big and weight ??

Basically dead on for any species unless they are abnormally fat or skinny. Ive done the other formulas and they came out the same weight.
My guestimation from looking at the picture is 38 to 43 and 22 to 32lbs. No matter what thats a quality red.
Invest in a 1 dollar seamstress tape from Wallys world. Weight goes up and down but a fish never gets shorter.
Thanks man
Was an epic battle

Wow, that would be a nice fish from the harbor, but in a creek, that’s awesome!

That is one fantastic catch. I think we are all trying to catch one of those. I know I am, if only I had a boat.

You don’t need a boat to catch one of those. However that still doesn’t stop my desire for an awesome flats boat lol!
my guess 45-50 inch ;; 35-40 lb ; no matter , thats a bragger in anyones book ;; congrats , appears you’re handling her gently, THANKS !!!
