So here I am to make you feel even worse! Hey, you'll have the unofficial record! You got the picture.kingfishking wrote:fishpro wrote:Um...isn't the NJ state record for northern kingfish less than three pounds????

Read this. Size: Northern kingfish can grow 18 inches long and can weigh up to three pounds, but greater lengths and weights have been reported. Commonly, these fish range from 10 to 14 inches long and weigh from one-half to 1.5 pounds. The largest ever recorded anywhere, a three-year-old female caught in a commercial gill net, was more than 21 inches long and weighed 3.3 pounds.
The New Jersey state record was caught in the surf in Margate on Oct. 25, 2003 by Art Higbee, who used bloodworms for bait. The fish was 18ΒΌ inches long and weighed two pounds and six ounces - just three ounces more than the record set 10 years ago. http://www.atlanticanglers.com/forum/fish-species-information/3049-whiting-kingfish.html

Write the Littoral Society and send everything you have in regard to dimensions, along with the picture. Unlike the IGFA, they will note the catch and yours will likely be put in the place of that 3.3 pounder.

No doubt you can have a replica made.
