Any Guesses

[tdismydog]

Like any good dad and fisherman I was totally unprepared to catch a fish of this size. I had no measuring tape and nothing to weigh it. Looking back I should have done more to get an accurate measurement before we put it back, but I didn't. So I thought I would turn it over to the experts. How big do you think this northern is? My son is about 5'3ish.

You could have marked it on the shack. I'd say about 15 lbs

Oh there are so many things I am regretting 24 hours later believe me. I am used to catching 6 inch perch... We thought about 15lbs also. I am 46 and my kid is 9 he has now caught a bigger walleye than I have ever caught and now this northern. He is a fish whisperer.

my guess is 44 inches, great fish for the young man, he is probably hooked for life!
good job dad also for getting him out fishing
