Hi Stew
I should have stated in my first mail that I weighed it at 6lb dead, including the weighing net, so probably about 5lb 12ozs.
The length I would estimate at about 24inches or so
Regards hooking maggots onto hooks, I always gently squeeze the pointy end so that the blunt end
pops out a bit into which I hook into. It's always worked for me! I never use barbed hooks.
