Biggen on Big Lake
 

Things kinda slow so I thought I would post this:

9lb spec caught a couple of months ago...these cats asked how we were doing...my buddys trolly went out and we were anchored not catching a thing...replied "not too good!". Asked how they were doing, said they been picking them up pretty steady and he had one big one, about 32"...:eek: thats easily a 8-9lber...asked him if he had a scale, he said no...Get over here I got a boga grip!!! Grabbed her out of the box and she came out to 9lbs...picture does no justice to her size. Asked him since its dead are the gonna mount it...he pointed to his stomach and said "probably look better right here!"...He said he may get a replica. Best part is these cats were from TEXAS!!:shaking: They were tourney bass fisherman...they were pretty cool though, besides catching the 9lber. I was bummed out (caught right by us)...but cool to see a biggen like that...

Whole Lotta Trout Almandine
 

Man I hope he mounted that fish, that’s a shame if it became "Trout Almandine".

On the bright side he could have had the worms for an appetizer. MMM Tasty.

:rolleyes:

saw the boga scale...

SUL,

I ain't doubting the weight as much as I am the length. A 32" trout should bust the 11 lb. mark.

gotcha...thats what the guy said he was...didn't verify...

?
 

big fish for sure! ha ha

you know better than to post length/weight here.....:rotfl:

salty is the trout police and he underestimates, i sent him a trout picture with a fake weight and he wouldn't speak to me until i came clean!

Man just don't want to end up like the dude from texas with the 4# trout..;)

If 32" it was probably already spawned out.....no belly in the pic.

Its a shame....imho.....fish like that needs to be mounted or released to fight another day. Or measure it, take pics, and have replica mount made. Just my 2 cents.

Or, measure it, take pics, release it and enter it in the CCA CPR program.

just for reference, a 90 quart igloo marine is roughly 32-33 from edge to edge...

If that was true....the dude in the pic would be in jail. :rolleyes:

Alot of people spend a lot of time trying to catch a fish this size...take a pick and let her go.

It would have looked prettier if the fish was allive. But i wouldnt have taken the chance either on taking a picture knowing what trout are cappable of doing lol. Anyways congrats on monster speck

yall don't start this here this is the reason i left the other site

you couldn't post a fish without them telling you how sorry you was for not throwing it back. This is a battle no one will win

I dont care if you throw it back... THe 12 inchers spawn way more than those monsters. I was just saying it may have fliiped into the water and you would have lost it lol

I'm not qualified to tell someone they should release a fish like that. However, eating it is one thing and mounting it is another. Anyway, I haven't always been as conservation-minded as I am now. I've mounted several big trout and I have since realized what a waste it was. They're stacked up in the corners of my boat shed.

How big were they??

i not trying to start anything or call anyone out just making a statement about how bad they would make people feel on the other site when someone was so proud of their fish.

Not quite 32". :)

yea i know what you mean

Wasn't my fish either...just a topic starter...

W caught a 33 1/4" trout. :rolleyes:

thats a nice one

Didn't I say that?

Yep...I'm with ya!!;)

?
 

I call BS

:*****:

This is a 9
 

I saw this one on the scale and know it was 9lb.......

thats a darn hoss!!!!!! omg thats a biggie. beautiful trout. where is she caught?

big lake.

Bruce, you know it's true.

W, you catch that fish on one of them eels?

Like I catch on any thing else:smokin:

Where at......the weirs? :cry:

Nope...Heberts Landing off the warf:D

It was my boat and i can say the fish was every bit of 32" and it was wall to wall with the chest seat. 9# and it was dead for a while.

Fool you sure do catch alot of specks off the landing :*****::*****::*****::*****:

Salty........... did you buy them mounts at a garage sale??? I didn't think you actually fished, just lonely fella lookin for friends??

B-E-A....utiful!!!!
