This beast took a little longer to subdue. Guessing it was around 36 inches(tape goes to 30 inches) and no idea on weight, but it was heavy. The cheap Abu Cardinal made it, but no idea how much life it will have left. 3/8 oz jighead and 3 inch fluke. 10-15 minute battle and then 5 minutes to revive and it was off the breed again.

My guess was between 25 - 30lbs, but I never like to list a weight(don't care to get questioned on a weight). He wore me out on light tackle and I thought my finger was crushed when getting under his Gill plate, so he was big and strong.

Unless it is just an absolute porker, to break 30lbs on a red, it will be over 40". Last edited by abolt300; 06/21/18 10:49 AM.

We've caught a couple 28-29" that were 16 lbs. Well behaved women never make history.~ Out back Quit laughing...I think I broke something. Fifteen is my limit on Schnitzen-Gruben, Baby...
