13 inches..maybe a little bit over 13..My wife caught one from the same exact spot the next day that was 14inches and weighed more than this one!!! True story! It is on my old Apple phone. I'd have to charge it up and try to recover the picture.

You sure have access to some good ones... fish of a lifetime for me!

That’s amazing!

I bet it fought like a 10 lb. Bass

You might as well charge that phone and post the pic. We don’t see too many 14” redear in these parts!

Would be for me as well, and then some. Great catch.

Having not caught a redear over 1 pound yet, looking at those photos, I have to ask if there's really any more usable meat on her than on the others of similar length? I realize that she's heavier, but all of the extra weight seems to be below the top of the rib cage. She does look about 11 months pregnant :)
