Notice the wide angle lens and 'hold the fish way out front so it looks huge' technique! It was a good size anyway, 43.5 inches. SWMBO wouldn't let me get away with using the fish stretcher for a paper. :x
You mean under that dirty deck hatch? It is a fish box. I don't know how big it is, but I would guess it would hold 16 - 20 28" rockfish. HeHe it is perfect for doormat flounders.
My 2320 DVSC, as opposed to the new design (which makes mine a classic 8) ) is much deeper in the bilge. There's room for more boxes, but I don't want to loose that much foam to put them in!
Since I have three fuel tanks under my deck (as evidence by the pie plates littering the deck, 1 which you don't even see in this photo),
in-deck fish boxes aren't an option for me.
It was a great season, 7 months of catching, last year. Fished primarily with my dad and son, largest landed was 47#, turned some friends onto some awesome fishing. Hope this year is even better.
