Just another thought... not sure where you're located but sometimes those long legged bears can really fool you. I know up in BC I was under judging a lot of bears and they're built a lot like this bear up where I hunted. Where I normally hunt, the bigger bears look super heavy and filled out. Their front legs, neck, chest and bellies get real big and make their legs look much closer to the ground. That's not always the case with "big" bears everywhere. I think that's a big part of what makes bears so hard to judge. It would sure be fun to see you get him and find out for sure!
Good luck!
