Any guesses on how much this fish would have weighed, it weighed 50 after the sharks got it.

It's hard to tell from just that pic but I'd say you lost 20-25#'s. Maybe more.

Damn nice fish.

At least 65# if the pic is 50#. Is it a king for sure and not a whoo? Looks likes a king, just asking.

Edit: Nevermind the lat line = king.

What you have is about 50lbs of cat food in your hands.

I'd go in the 60# range. This hoo was 90# on the scale. Fork length was about 5'8" Very similar fish so I'd guess they'd measure and weigh close

Assuming you are talking about the hoo, unfortantely caught him last January. Weather this year SUCKS and we haven't made it out since November.
