One fish can make a day

[CaptMikeStarrett]

Started at noon to fish the incoming and like many trips this fall action was non-stop. But when the rod bent over in half I knew we had a big one.

The picture does not do the fish justice.. 45 inches long..

:yes:Great fish capt. Mike. I fished the tidal Appomattox River today from noon till four and also had a lot of action but nothing that big.

That guy makes your boat look like a little 17' key west or something. Not wonder the fish looks about average. So what did it weigh?

[CaptMikeStarrett]

Length Calc says it is 47.3 lbs but with that belly it was close to 60lbs. This guy has a 68 inch chest and arms the size of my leg.

I am sure it was 60lbs plus as it broke my net and it took two hands just to lift it..
