What a fish! It's such a shame that some internet "experts" always have to say something negative....instead of just congratulating the guy! They think that by looking at a picture they know the length better than the guy who measured it!
If I would ever catch something like that, I would get a picture of it on a bump board and of me holding it. I would only post the pic of me holding it at first. I would let the "experts" come on and tell me what the actual length was.....then I would post the pic on the bump board and tell them all to pound sand!
