Wow Kelly - that is unbelievable. Congrats - can you tell us if the fish was released? What method did you use to catch it...bait used, etc? I'm hungry for the full story!

heres the measurements, Total length, 14.75 in. width, 4.25in. girth, 21.5 in. I dont think these fish are that old, I think they just have the right conditions to get super big!!

i wonder how long it took to get that big?

Did we ever hear what the length is on this fish?

This fish could crack a lot more than shells...

Kelly, I've featured this photo. You may notice that it will show up on the left side of the main page. This photo has already gone to the top of the "most popular" list for all photos submitted. Eventually we will need a story on these fish. This is just too good to pass up.
