@fishinwrenchalmost 22" WOW!

 5.5 would break the state record.  I didn't weigh mine but I know it wasn't 5lbs. Low 4's maybe.  

I'd like to know the measurement on the 5.3 that is currently the Mo.state record.

Oklahoma has a 4lb.9oz record WB that was 20.5" ..... but I suspect that fish was a mutt.  And caught in the early spring....so obviously full of eggs. 

Mine was caught in October.

I'm so jealous of the day you had. Only caught a few hybrids this year but at least I know they are still in the river. I need to fish the rivers more and maybe I'll get lucky and find a few. My shoulder hurts just thinking about them.
