The guy with me said the tape said 42". It really felt bigger than that to me though. I didnt want to insult him by asking to see it myself and I wanted to get it back in the water quickly. Whatever the number, it was a really fun fish to catch as it came out of the water completely 3 times. When it hit the topwater bait I was using, I about had a heart attack!
