Thanks,

i kind of regret posting it now.

I edited the post after a few estimates at the weight, so that was fine.

It was more about WHERE this was caught than about the size. A great fish in an area it was not expected in and a great fight due to the size of the tackle.

Really, now it is even about the fact he did not comb his hair before the pic??

o well, will think twice next time.
