Caught this hog last night, had it officially weighed and measured. 11 inches long, 11.25 inch girth, 1 pound 3 onces. I think it's going to be number 7 or 8 in the state.

In a 5 gallon Bucket

The Weight

I weighed the fish myself and took the photos. My scale was 1lb 2.5 oz (as you can see from the photo). The official scale was 1lb 3oz. A true hog. It's the biggest I have seen alive. Pictures do not do it justice. In the bucket is the best...barely fits. Nice catch Booth!

I would definately have it mounted! Not too often you see one like that. On the other hand, dinner plate sized fillets! YUMMM!
