Well Done guys

Second Place should have gotten in more calcuttas were any of these fish caught during the day.

ALLSOLAR · 07-17-2009, 11:59 AM

We would have entered in more calcuttas but we havent fished that area in years. But we had a blast and Capt. Erik Anderson put on a TOP notch tourney.

Swordone · 08-30-2009, 10:19 PM

Do you have any length / girth measurements for the 442lber?

tunapopper · 09-09-2009, 12:18 PM

I believe the 442 was 92" to the fork if I remember correctly. Didn't hear the girth. Our 2 weighed 118 and 104 and were 63" and 65" F/L.
