Just saw a big one almost world record

[Rock On]

Puffer fish that is, was having lunch at dockside and they weighed a 10lb 5 oz puffer fish the thing was huge cant imagine how big it would be blown up, bet its good eating. They called Dr. Julie Ball to check it out, maybe its a line class record or something, they said it was 5 oz short of the all tackle record world record.

I was cobia fishing at the fourth Sunday and a really big puffer swam by us. It was the biggest one I've ever seen, didn't know what it was at first.

Xtra Billy:

Was its mouth big enough for a six ounce sinker to fit in?

[Xtra Billy]

It was atleast 12 inches long and looked about 4 or 5 inches wide. It wasn't puffed up and I didn't see how big it's mouth was. I'd like to see a pick of that 10 pounder to have something to gushed it to.

Auto correct got me. I'd like to see a pic so I can gauge how big it was.
