Title: San Juan Linger...
Post by: popeshawnpaul on June 08, 2009, 10:13:54 PM: Ok, we went out and got a big linger this weekend. The max is 40" and he is about as close to that as you can get. He was a big buckethead and I'm not "long arming" it like it looks in the picture. I'm a big dude and this one measured about 39". It's next to my body. He was yummy!
