Whatever the length it's a fine fish.  Congratulations to the captor!

Yes, I'll drink to that.

Had another reply - sorry for the delay in posting it here:

I have blown up the photo and measured my hand, which measure 4.0" across giving 16" long.

When I said girth I meant width therefore the girth of the fish was approx 13" measured all around.

By the way the kids are my nephews and I can assure INKY there heads are in correct

proportion and my hands were extremely cold.

Any more views?

 

Tight lines,

Well this one weighed 2lbs 3ozs, and thats a fact, so I'd say that one in the pic is between 1lb 4oz - 1lb 10oz

 

 

My P.B roach of 1lb 5oz looks nothing like that weight in the photo, so photos can be very misleading sometimes.
