Location: Rhinelander, WI | One thing can be said for sure, these huge fish being caught are 50 pound “class” fish and that’s as accurate as we can estimate them. Larry said it best, the LXGXG formula is an estimate, the only way to know for sure is to weigh the fish.
The other thing is pictures can be deceiving. Hold a fish one way and it looks average, take another picture at a different angle and it looks monsterous. If we are going to promote releasing these fish we have to learn to deal with the uncertainty, and be happy about it. Last night at Lee Tauchen’s seminar in Madison he showed a picture of a very large fish, but it didn’t really look that fat, then he showed a picture of the same fish laying on the bump board and it looked ginormous. To me it proved the point how we need to be careful when we put pictures under the microscope on the internet.
