Like I said, it was the fattest, most rotund fish I have ever seen. I've been hearing for years and years that the old standard used to be 1"=1lb, but nowadays it might be rare for a 40" to be 25lbs or so, so it had shoulder and it had girth. As soon as tonight, when I get the pics emailed from my buddy, I'll post as I like to do from time to time. The fish are out there, just have to get em.

all the reports of pogies throughout the area might be one reason why people all over are reporting fatter fish.

I have been noticing that even the smaller 20-30+ inch fish are fatter than in years past, the 25-28's are so thick they almost look like 30's when I first see them. All in all, it might be a good sign.
