That is a catch of a lifetime! Well done. If IGFA was doing a line class based length world record system instead of just an all-tackle, she'd be in the books!

Flec, I got her on artificial (X-rap). Did not get a weight or measurement. A couple quick pics and then got her back in the water as quickly as possible. Although not my biggest (46" inlet fish and a couple 43" back country fish), this fish was possibly the thickest snook I have ever seen. For reference, I am 6' tall 185 lbs. The pics do not do her girth justice because my hand is pushing up her belly. Given our poor water quality, it is good to see a fish this thick and healthy.
