Posts: 462 Location: Antioch, IL | I like this post. I've always said I'd rather catch a FAT shorty than a long skinny. Here is a chunky 39" and a beefy 41".

Posts: 2082 | nowhere in this post is pig, huge or monster used!!! If you wouldn't be happy catching a 24lb 40" FAT fish you should sell ALL of your stuff today!!!....and I'm being completely serious. Edited by IAJustin 8/7/2009 3:18 PM | ||

Location: SE Wisconsin | All fish deserve respect, weather it's size-related, their colors/markings, the awesome fight they put up or just simply because they graced you with some action. After all, remember why we're considered Musky "Hunters", not catchers. And if you think their "tiny", well, here's a stocker my buddy caught opening day, but I remember him thinking how cool of a fish it was because of the awesome markings and after the release he said something like, "Dude, I'm just happy to have slime on my hands."

Posts: 4342 Location: Smith Creek | So if you're fishing with someone new to the sport and they stick a chunky 39" you gonna tell them "wipe that smile off your face! That's small! I crap bigger than that! If I see a muskie under 45 inches I stop the bait or pull it out of the water" Not everybody fishes near Detroit Lakes. | ||

Posts: 16 Location: Detroit Lakes | No thats not the point I was trying to make. Im happy to net any fish. Its the chunky or fat thats in front of the fish that is kind of weird to me!!! I've never seen a fat or chunky 39 incher. They just cant hold a ton of stuff inside them like 6 pound suckers, mallards, loons, coots and whatever else they were hungary for. I know im not the only one thinking this!! | ||

Posts: 462 Location: Antioch, IL | So by your logic. If a man is 250 lbs, but he is only 5'4" He is not beefy, chunky, fat or a pig. (I'm sure a lot of people wished you were correct, but anything that walk, crawls, flies or swims on this earth can be short AND fat. The girth to length ratio not the actual numbers is what determines chunky, beefy, husky (don't mean to bring back memories to those guys that shopped in the "husky" section as kids) Here Brian, visual reference Skinny 42 (Not fat) Attachments ---------------- skinny 42.JPG (124KB - 99 downloads) | ||

Posts: 4342 Location: Smith Creek | boelrich2, congrats to your dad for a nice fish. I think we can all agree the fat ones do things the skinny ones would never dream of doing! | ||

Posts: 295 Location: Southern Ontario, Detroit River and Lake StClair | This thread makes me feel alot better about some of the girls I went home with in my younger bar hopping days. I kept telling my buddies they weren't fat. Now I know they they weren't. Tey couldnt have been because they were too short. Good Fishin' Tim | ||
