24.5” long. What does she weigh? I will post the weight later. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2019/06/full-26444-15508-9e94646c_5081_42c2_b45e_3f9d7aaf75dd.jpeg) Most of you are in the ballpark. 7.03lbs. Poor girl had a tough spawn. Big head, big tail fin, skinny body.

Big head, skinny body on that one.
I bet it has weighed way more before.

I'm late to the party but I would've said 7.5. She looks like she might be an old fish. The bony structure around the mouth can sometimes give you an idea of how old the fish may be. Big thick bones around the mouth on your fish looks to me like she is an old fish that may have been much heavier at one point in her life. I've seen a bunch of fish from Monticello over the years that look like this one. They have the head of a ten pounder but weigh 7-something. I have lost count of the fish I have weighed for people over the years at Monty where the angler swore they had a DD but the fish went seven-ish. Not taking away anything from your fish. She is still a NICE Fish that I bet was fun to catch!

She is still a NICE Fish that I bet was fun to catch! No doubt she has seen better days. I am hoping she recovers some weight and makes it a few more years. Good fight and on a frog is always fun. Had some of the most violent blow ups as ever yesterday. Dougy.....you know your weights. Bracketed me just about perfect
