Was very challenging to photo the over sized fish without harming it to ensure its safe release (and not get sliced up). I'll take any length the judges are willing to grant (hopefully over 36"). It was an inch+ past my measure board and there was a big bend it in because it was laying over my mirage drive. I feel pretty strongly it was a 38" fish....
admin note: probably 38, but I can only justify an inch over the max length of the board.
Totally Understand. Fair result!
