I got lucky again , and fooled another Ugly/Beauty, a little over 40" ,with a long ,thin body .
I thought maybe it was around 36"- 38" when i got it in the boat and got busy and it stayed in ice.
Then last night we cut the tail off to close the ice chest - put big rocks on as the local Racoon knows I fish.
It is not any regulations picture.
I took the pics to share is all.
Today the fish had to warm some to lay flatt--er .
Hard to see in the pictures the bones are together even though the skin pulled back some
In an effort to avoid being sharpshooter feed, I burned an inch-roughly- in all photos to try and be fair.. it weighed 23lbs .
Was a great day with afew missed bites to boot---I even fought a long drag 300' out 8" rosey in 160' fow -that 5 basketball sized egg jelly fish had wrapped on as it fly lined...I figured MOLA  :smt003
Awesome!!!!

I don't know if this counts.  Taken on scuba at Santa Cruz Island.  The weight is in question, but it measured just over 54"
