There are more experienced bear hunters out there than me so lets hear from them too.

I think that on the coast that a 7' bear is a real good bear.  Over that is a trophy and 6' to 6'6" is probably average.

On the interior a 7' would be a trophy and 6' would be real good bear and the average 5' to 5'6". You also can get color phase on the interior but they are seldom on the coast.

How did I do guys?
