This one was like 42" and it weighed 38 lbs. I weighed it on a certified scale at a crawfish wholesale so I believe it. I thought it would have been heavier. I was going to mount it but couldn't find a reasonably priced taxidermist. I caught this thing with half a spool of 15# Big Game on a Curado 50. It took me 30 min to get it in the boat. I was in a little boat and it pulled me all over the flat otherwise it would have spooled me pretty quick. Its still to this day the prettiest redfish I have ever seen. Wish I had a better picture.
