how big is this flathead?

From that picture guessing the weight is pretty difficult. He is kind of holding it towards the camera which distorts the length quite a bit. It doesn’t appear to have a lot of girth so that would drop the weight some too. I’m guessing at the length and girth measurements and then extrapolating that to the Flathead Weight Conversion Table – so I’m guessing 40″ length and 24″ girth which would put it at right around 30 lbs. That does seem a little heavy but it is in the ballpark probably.

For the record, I am horrible at eyeballing all measurements. Pounds, inches, miles, I am horrible at the all.

Kinda like my tax man test. What’s 4 + 4? The guy that always gets the job says “what do you want it to be?” LOL!
