So Close

[Sea Draggin]

The length we measured on the boat was 63.5 inches. My math was a little off in the excitement at first and I thought it was 65.5 inches.

I was looking for something else and stumbled on this old thread. This is how close Dean was to the record.

The fish weighed in at 126.5lbs and was 67" tip to tip, 63" fl, and 43" girth.

Right there, but close doesn't count.

It was actually .5" longer at least, but short a few inches of girth.

I know bigger fish have been caught, but it would have been nice for Dean.

It definitely was still nice for him. I rag on him sometimes because I always catch the bigger fish in all the species we target. Biggest king, dolphin, tuna, grouper, etc....but he has me in the AJ category...and by a good margin!
