I finally caught the fish of a life time. Greg Marino our guide at Moosehorn Lodge put me on a 57"er and I figured 8ed this horse into the boat with a terrific net job by Greg.

Outstanding. What a girth for a summer fish. She must have been heavy!
Congratulations on the fish of dreams.
If anybody gives you crap about your hold, or the water temps that you were fishing in, tell them to kiss your 57" fish.
And releasing it too!
Bravo girl.

Could this be the "Year of the Pigs" ??? HUGH FISH to say the least, could be a fish for the record books.
50#?? I'd say so but if not , still the biggest I've seen a pic of for a l-o-n-g time. Congrats of a super catch. Now if someone could tell me where her big sister lives.......................

Very, very nice, Linda--way to go. We are def getting smarter @ our fishing and the new world record catch is very near!!! I have personal knowledge of many upper 50's caught this year, most not reported on our sites with even bigger fish being hooked, lost, & spotted...........surprisingly, all in lakes..NOT rivers.....soon, very soon!

This Linda Rice is a BIG FISH gal....looks like she'll put "Lucky Libby" head to head any day, especially when it comes to pigs. I think I remember she caught this fish last year.

On a figure 8, too? WOW. Congratulations!

I keep looking at the picture and thinking that woman could be 4 feet tall and that would STILL be a huge fish!

Nice job!
