The picture shows the fish is 26 inches long.
No disputing the length.
Now, where does the 11 lb. come in at?
Was it weighed? Or was the weight guessed on this one. Nobody took a measurement of the girth did they? Just told the paper what they say it weighed.
That's where the questioning of the weight comes in at.
Face it, 90% of the time a fish gets caught and length and weight are guessed. Not measured or weighed. Most people can't guess the weight of their spouse let alone the weight of a fish. I think if fishermen actually would spend the money on a good scale, they'd be surprised and think the scale is broken when the 5 pounder they just caught turns out to be a pound and a half.
