That is a serious fish Kasey
A bit hard to make a weight guess because of the angle, but I will say - massive.
Have you been to New Cal again Kasey?

Yeah Jay, would say it's a 17mm lense which with the angle would make it look slightly bigger than it is. Which is still huge. Going to call it less than the other boys, gonna say 49.5kg. Top effort.

It was actually 55kg, or 1.3m to the fork.
Brad and Jay (but especially Glenn) suck, they have a booking with LPB in January.
Oddly enough, this fish is still about 11 kilo's short of LPB's record GT.

I think they weighed it.
I think they weighed it. They have a cargo net attached to a big weighing scale which, if they get that out, you know its a big one.
