That's a beast! Chrome too. I got one last year that measured out to 39 inches. Didn't measure girth, but I figured it to be nearly 20lbs. Those big fresh fish are always fun. Have yet to get any bigger fish this year though, seems like they've been smaller for the most part.

Very nice fish Freak! I see you are out in my neck of the wood and got that beast on my beat no less while I was working like a good boy. Looks like we'll be seeing each other again down there this year as well. Congratulations on the fish, an excellent specimen, impressive to say the least. Have yourself a good season and see you around.

Yes the 19lber. One of the rarest fish of any species.
No kidding right. How easy is it to hit a 19 lb steelhead or coho, or a 29 lb king. But not break 20 or 30. Classic [biggrin]

Now that one is a true HOG! No longarm pics needed for that one. You can tell by the girth of that tail section. The first one you Posted had some serious long arm going on....almost looks like your head was shrunk and the tail looks small in comparison to your hand. But this pig has all the right composition in the photo to prove its size! Great catch Danny!
