[QUOTE="Pilchard, post: 5114015, member: 19427"] Yeah. Probably a 70lb fish give or take 10lbs. That boat has a 9 ft beam and the hatch near the head of the fish is a livewell that is centered across the transom. So there is roughly 4.5-5 feet of fish remaining. I’ve only ever actually weighed a handful of tarpon so as much as I like to think I am decent at estimating their weights, it’s still just a guess. It’s said it takes them 7 years to reach maturity but I don’t buy it. I tagged a bunch of fish years ago. One of which was recaptured 3 yrs later and had only grown 5.5 inches. It wasn’t a particularly large fish either. What’s neat is I caught it in the middle of the Everglades and it was recaptured off the coast of Belize. [/QUOTE]
