the 51 was caught not too long ago, July 2003...I had been told that there wasn't any left that big....but I have hooked several more that I couldn't do anything with. I was using the biggest shad I could find...10 inches and bigger.

I'll have to take a picture of the mount lol...I wore the picture out showing it off. The fish was 49 1/2 inches long with a 29 1/2 inch girth. I still have never seen one that fat anywhere else....we actually measured it 3 times to be sure we had it right. The fish was weighed about 9 hours after I caught it, so I don't know how much weight it lost, if any. Taxidermist said it was probably closer to 55 but who knows? Not sure how much weight it might have lost...any ideas?
