Two weeks ago I fished with Field and Stream's Fishing Editor to film his last episode of Hook Shots for 2011. Check it out.

You'll hear the guide say "43 inches," but he later changed his guesstimate after getting a better look and seeing the picture. We didn't take measurements cause we just wanted the fish on film and back in the water, but the best guess puts the fish somewhere between 45 and 47 inches and 25 to 30 pounds. It was a beast.
