Hey, we're just wanting an idea of how big critters are, not weighing out chemicals for explosives by the gram (as I have done).
Story with no reflection on your fish: I rattled in a pretty fair whitetail in really thick timber and brush for a newbie who had never shot a deer. I could see 15 yards and had put him in a slot downwind to see 30 yards at max, 15-20 most directions. After his shot and some congratulations I asked how far the buck was from him when he shot, because I couldn't see it. He said that it was at least 75 yards, maybe more. I looked around at the tight cover and with a smile said, "I'll bet it was 125 yards." From that day till this, the shot was 125 when he tells the story.

That's a humdinger of a fish and nobody can take the experience from you.
