Impressed with a 22# channel, yes as they catch very, very few in that size range in the Minnesota. I was curious to the lenght and width as I have never seen to many that size. maybe you still remember.

Channels range so wildly in their proportioning but a 22 pounder is going to be 35" minimum, more like a 36", but could be 37" if it isn't very girthy.
