Posts: 3240 Location: Racine, Wi | Shep, we all know you don't catch big fish. But your SON does. LOL JLo, I was gonna say the same thing. Good catch. How's this, nobody put the size of the fish in any of the posts you have, and we can all get back to enjoying the beauty of these critters. I don't care how big they are, they all look cool as he!!. (although, catching big fish is fuuuun) | ||

| but his point is a good one...it looks much bigger in the second picture. you won't hear me questioning fish sizes in pictures, just way too many variables, and what's the point anyway? i'm secure enough in my own skin to believe it doesn't diminish my catches is someone else "grows" theirs. it's hard enough to catch the dang things to worry about if someone else is stretching it by an inch. stretching it by 20lbs on the other hand...lol.  | |||

| I agree with Lambeau on this one...who cares how big someone else says their fish is? Yah, it does get a little old when you see pics of some fish you know darn well are not as big as they are reported to be... there are alot of guys that round their fish up...some 1/2 inch, some more..some guys do innacurate in the water measurements and "just get it close" type stuff..some don't measure at all but still say what the fish was ...I have seen pics of late of some fish claimed to be over 50 and I know #*^@ well were not over 49..but whatever, I know I measure mine dead nuts on and don't stretch them...why make a great fish, greater by trying to make it more than it was...??? girths are another thing...I don't girth mine for a few reasons but the main reason is I don't want to girth a fat 22 inch girthed fish to have some goomba come along and say his is 24 when we all know it's 20..it's all a big pisssing contest for the most part..I'm happy with my catches and if there are people who feel the need to inflate their sizes and numbers...well they have to live with themselves..not me... Pics can be very misleading..we all know this.. now lets get back to real topics shall we... And Donnie you make all those Eagle heavies look like 50's somehow!!  | |||

Posts: 32886 Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | OK, here's a couple...how LONG in inches? Neither was held intentionally at any special angle. Hints: The fish I am holding...the fish's head was even with or a bit past the tip of my left shoulder, 'behind me' if you will. Sue's fish was out in front of her some, so the perspective is totally different. Attachments ---------------- worrall.jpg (19KB - 81 downloads) IMAG0050.JPG (84KB - 69 downloads) | ||

Posts: 41 Location: Minneapolis, MN | Since someone posted pictures about the size of the person affecting how big the fish looks...I'm 6'4", 250. I thought this fish was huge but after seeing the pictures when I got home I was a little disappointed. Thankfully the second pic really shows the girth. 48" Edited by MuskieSlayer 8/27/2006 10:05 PM Attachments ---------------- CIMG3056.JPG (176KB - 88 downloads) CIMG3059.JPG (173KB - 71 downloads) | ||
