Sometimes pictures just don't do any of us justice. Such is the case with this big Mac until you compare it with my 3 year old daughter, Carly. Laying next to the same rod makes it easier to gain an appreciation of the size of this fish. Carly is a good sport there is no doubt about it. Oh and she weighs in at 30 lbs and about 4 inches shorter than this fish. By the way this fish appears to be bleeding from the gills, I assure you that the diluted blood is actually coming from the location where he was hooked just inside his upper jaw. He was only out of the water for about 15 seconds total and took off like a rocket once he hit the water!
Also, my hand spans almost 11 inches from the tip of my little finger to the tip of my thumb. Oh and that is a 10 inch hole we pulled him out of and released him through. Whats the formula for the circumference of a circle? C= d*3.14? If so that would put the girth of this fish some where in the upper twenty to low thirty inch range.
