and the chart says a 2 1/2 foot (30 inch) fish weighs 10.9 lbs....

For reference, here is a 33.2 lb blue that measured 41" that I CPR'd at Twok. I'm no expert, but the bigger Blues I have caught at Twok seem to be shorter than the ones I catch in my local lakes when they are of the same weight.

He had a really fat head. Nice fish!

In my experience, most of the time you encounter boat shrinkage with fish just as you do ground shrinkage with deer. In the heat of the battle, they look seem, and feel bigger than they are, and when you measure them and put them on a scale, you find out real quick that your trophy is not what you thought it was.

Dude, if Tom Gravely tells you something it is a good idea to listen. Tom is probably one of the best catfish guides to ever go fishing. I'll tell you a secret,read all his posts and you will learn some things about fishing. Better yet hire him and get it straight.

Appreciate it! I'm not really into cats too much though. Just happens where I fish for crappie, the cats like to nibble on my minnows as well.
