Is my summer squash ready to harvest? I’ve usually seen them get longer but this one keeps getting wider so I’m thinking maybe I’m good to harvest now?

Finger as reference for size. It is firm. I wouldn’t say no give but not noticeable. Slight orange tinge to it? Not as bright yellow as baby squash
