Nice fish. The OP mentions problems with filleting the big fish... if a person has a big fish like this they don't always have to fillet them. The big fish can also be cut into nice 2 inch thick steaks too.
Meat anglers should always carry a cooler with ice to put the fish on. Frozen 2 liter pop bottles in the cooler are useful and no mess.
Curious on how much the fishes stomach contents weighed? It might have had 2 or 3 one pound perch or a 2 pound whitefish in its gut.
