Right. Cough. Bul$#!>. Cough.
Screen capture has pixel width of fish at 288 pixels. His right index finger is 44 pixels from his interphalangeal joint, or 15% of the fish length. If the fish was 19", his finger shown would be 2.9". I'm 6', wear medium gloves, and my distance is 1.75". It's a nice fish, maybe 11-12", but nowhere near 19" long.
Oh yeah, and then there's "common sense" that says you're probably not going to beat the world record by almost 20% in weight... or thats about 4" longer than any other state record.

This is a "real" big redear, and a real trophy body condition:
