If you have a look at the Specimen Fish Annual Reports on their sites http://irish-trophy-fish.com/annual-reports/

You will see that a 41cm flounder could weigh up to 2.5lbs. This of course would depend on condition, thickness etc. This time of year they tend to be as good as they get.

Nice fish!
