That's one case where I would not mind being violated. Hell I'd even welcome it!

Post by: Button Nubbs on October 11, 2011, 02:33:42 PM: long armed for sure, but Look at the size of that adipose and the girth! :yike: its a big fish for sure but I don't think it makes 22. I could be wrong tho. :dunno:

Post by: Dmanmastertracker on October 11, 2011, 02:42:35 PM: Using the all species fish weight calculator which I''ve found to be very accurate, I would say more like 19 -19.5lbs, based on 31" length. I hooked a wild silver at Sekiu that I had to release that was just over 36" in length. I don't think that fish is quite in that length range unless the guy in the photo is 6'4". All that said, it's a trophy fish, really great fish.
