Definitely NOT 5 or 6 lbs. I caught a really good 24 incher a few years ago. Was fatter than that one and it only weighed 4.25 lbs. If that one was 20 inches, then I'd guess it at about 3-3.5 lbs at most.
That is a nice one, however. Any brookie over 16 inches is a great brookie, IMHO. Cool picture too.
P. S. I have no problem with someone keeping a fish, especially as quality fish like that one. But just for your information, when you take one out of the water long enough to walk up on the grass, let the fish roll around in the grass, then dry out for the picture, it is going to die whether you release it or not. I don't want to offend you, but my guess is you did not release that fish. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
