Alan...nice fish...crankbaits rule!....Based on the resolution of your pic and using the widely accepted pixelation cross reference and comparison chart published by Bill Dance in his ground breaking book "How Big Was She?" that fish is 23.78 inches long and weighs 8.721365 pounds!
edit..By the way I see you're fishing out of a Canoe with your feet stuffed in a croaker sack! THAT'S HOW I ROLL SOMETIMES!!! Also good job of holding that fish horizontal and supporting gut!! Big fish can sustain fatal injuries when held vertically and their innards allowed to sag>
