As Hank Cherry prepared to make a move, he took another look at the “8-pounder” in his livewell. “That’s an 8-pounder, isn’t it?,” he asked us, to which Steve Bowman replied, “I trust you.”
So Cherry decided to find out for sure what “Jeremiah Lunker” weighed, and pulled a scale from a storage box. The result: 7 pounds.
So Cherry just lost a pound. By consensus, it appears he’s got closer to 18 pounds today.
