Mike, I just KNEW you were going to ask how big it was...it made citation by only a few inches or a few ounces, can't remember which...a large fish for down here but no comparison to what you guys catch up there. I have no idea where the wife put the certificate, but from poor memory I'm gonna say 8+pounds and around 34 inches. I caught 2 or 3 bigger than that one after that, but didn't go through the hassle of having them weighed and measured officially, because they were too busy being under the filet knife. Really big fish for down here, though...
