7.2#’s which I guess isn’t bad for a farm pond. Still trying to break 8#’s though.

Nicely done T ! Had that fish already spawned? If so she probably would go 8!

That's a mighty fine fish. I agree with Pat, it has a frame to support >8 lbs. Did I read the length correctly at 23.5"?

I think I could have snugged head up in the measuring tray a little better so probably 23”.

What a brute.

I agree -- she looks post-spawn! EASY 8-pounder if you fish her out again in February 2020.

Lovely gal right there.

Very nice job Tbar...I see that bloody tail from spawning. Nice green color!! Congrats and you have more in there that are probably at least 8 pounds.

Nice fish ! Looks young - lots of potential.

really nice bucket-mouth

Beautiful fish!
