I'd guess it at under 10#'s in reality. Not a bad looking fish, but the camera trick takes away from a could be personal trophy.

I think it was around 6 lbs. - Larry can verify for me. He got it during the Ensenada rodeo and I think it got them 2nd place. He's always complaining that his fish look small in pictures because he is such a tall guy - so I "fixed" this one for him :)

Hey Gang, Petey's right, my fish seldom look a big in the pictures because I am 6-5 and 230lbs, that and the fact that most my buddies cant seem to grasp the idea of framing the fish. Incidently that weighed in at 7.56lbs, good for second place in this years W.O.N Ensenada rodeo. Caught on a 5in CalicoHunter special colored Big Hammer :7 ....Captain Larry

That would be 100+ easy if it was for real. My wife seen the picture and said, "dang that's a big fish"! I told her it wasn't real and she argued with me cuz I told her those fish don't get that big, ever.
