Congratz Tom. She's a beauty of a beast. They sure put on the pounds at that size don't they.  I wish I had measured the jaw width on my big'un. How's your back feel after pullin that pig back in the water. I know mine was killin me the next day.

It still amazes me how a shark that size just sits chewing on the bait instead of peeling out like the leopards do.

You got me chomping at the bit to hit the sand.

What would you estimate the weight was on that toad?
Anybody have an emergency beer?

I've only weighed one small one with Steve and Don up in LA, but really can only guess.  My rough estimate would be 260 pounds?  I really have nothing to go by except that it was twice the girth as a more typical sized Sevengill.
You can't catch them from your computer chair.

Now that's the way to start off 2017. I hope you tipped Steve for all the work that he did.  ;)
