Hmmm.. guess I should've held it out farther.... LOL

THe fish really was around 4 lbs. high 3, but close enough to 4 to call it that... pic really doesn't do it justice... like I said, the camera phone pic isn't the greatest.

OH.. and just to put an end to the height thing.. I'm 5'11" (that's what my military ID said, anyway) ... and go about 210... if that puts it in perspective....

Either way, he was a blast to pull in, and the green senko has been working great for the bass this year!!!!

Ive seen an caught a few nice pike inthere this year.just seen a couple this morning. through my storm minnow right in front of one an brushed its lip, No go. Sorry to say there is one less trophy to be caught out there. right by the 36 street dock there was a 42 inch muskie floating along the wall. still slightly breathing, so I netted him out for a couple pics to send to family in Cali. an tell them about MN Barracuda. Some guy fishing the dock went an pulled him back out is going to give to his oreiental neighbors. I measured it with tape measure when I pulled it out an came up with 42 inch fish. it had a slice looking mark on its side like it may have been hit by propeler. earlier in the year I seen two nice Bass about two pounds floating dead in the same spot. there s getting to be way to many Muskie anglers out there. Fishing Report sunnies are very active in the shallows an under the docks, hook under boober with anything that will stay on it.Ha Ha Does anyone have or know of someone with one or two back to back boat seats for sale

Seems it's in vogue these days to phony up the size of a fish by holding it out in front of the camera. Thanks, Bill Lindner! Every time I see that, I say to myself "too bad the guy is trying to lie about the size of the fish".

One of my favorite slogans is "if my arms were 6 feet long, all my bass would be 12 pounders"!

Keep holding those fish in tight to your body...5 years later you can still verify how big it really was.

Why does everyone always pick on other guys when the catch a fish. Who cares if they are long arming it. I doubt anyone really does it on purpose it is just a natural pose to hold the fish out for the camera. And after all the grief a few guys have taken on this forum about estimated fish size I am sure that not many are going to be lieing about it. What would be the point?

I would like all the perfect people to please step forward so we know who you are and are able to bow in your glourious pressence. We shall deem you as the only people worthy of estimating fish size.

OK, OK, you're on to me. I have never hooked a fish anywhere but in the out lip. All 342 30" plus walleyes I've caught are photographed in multiple angles with flex rulers up & down & around to quell the doubters. Not only that, I both C&R and get to eat my fish.

Please direct all bows toward the 35W/494 interchange so that I may feel the wind of your accumulated awe.

Oh, & beautiful women stare at me too much, so I always fish away from shore.

Maximum12, hilarious stuff!!!

Max12... only 342 30" 'Eyes?? was that this season or lifetime?? Heck, that's a solid month or so for me.. but then again, that's on the computer

Anyway... The only time I question other folks' estimation is the ones you see in the Pioneer Press & Star-Trib.... like the one this morning.. 7 lb. largemouth... doesn't look 7 to me.. but I wasn't there...

Haven't seen the dead fish around Calhoun that others are talking about, sad to see that. I would hope that people are careful enough to make sure that fish are released ASAP, and that they do swim away...

As far as that Muskie goes... I thought that there are no motors allowed on the cahin of lakes, other than electrics.. would an electric motor do that kind of damage?? Or is it possible that the weed cutter boat got him?

See you on the shoreline...
