This is not me.

The guy in this pic is 6'2", 280 lbs. if that helps.

I was told this fish was a giant, but I wont say what I was told it weighed. Nor will I say where it was caught.

Just need some "expert opinions". Also, I was told it appeared to be 36" long.. but I dont know.

no where near 36" long, and not a giant.very solid fish though. I would say 22-24" and 6-8 lbs. Ive taken plenty of pics with my camera phone just like that and it makes a 4 lber look like an 8.

But if you didn't give us the length I would say 4 to 7.5lbs.

How in the world with a picture like that can you even consider how much that fish weighs. Post of the day for sure. Im guessing the OP was kidding about this entire thing. SMH

36" would be like a world record or something.... maybe he meant 26".

strangely enough, I am being tongue in cheek but also legitimately curious on opinions.

OK OK, i was told this fish was 17.4 on Berkely digital scales..

To me it appears to be somewhere between 6 - 9 pounds.

Just wanted to see what others thought.

A good rule of angling philosophy is not to interfere with another fisherman's ways of being happy, unless you want to be hated.
