I was buying 14 just looking at the pic. Funny how angles and what not can get you. I have seen pics of a legit 12.5 on a solid scale and a 9 per the same scale and the 9 looks notably bigger.

Well one of em is out of commission right now and the other one still catching 3s calling em 5s. Gotta create business somehow. BTW, beautiful fish from Bridgeport regardless of weight, it’s a biggun!!
