This what you said at first. A 12 in blade plus 5 in handle is a 17 in knife and the macks are like 3 times the length of the knife.frayedknot wrote:Its a 12 inch blade. I am guessing that that handle is 5 inch?

I wasn't thinking right. 12-13" Knife. You have seen fillet knives. They are big macks. We had about 6 more about the same size too, but we filleted them before we remembered about the pics.

Both caught on X-Raps. My fish was one of about 30 caught that size that day (May 09). When I was bringing my fish in the big one was the follower and it ate Elias' plug.

The fishing was good; it was the catching that was bad.
