Good god, what a beast!

Nice catch.

Looks like it just ate a small child.

What a monster.....

I like the hat....

What happened to the original pic? Is this the same fish? It looked much bigger with the first pic.

[DTro]

Ok what's the deal here. First there is a monster fish pictured.........that was removed and replaced with a smaller one.........now I see a cover story in an up north paper about it challenging the state record?

What gives?

[Silver Scale]

Pranksters.....

[DTro]

That's better

Let me just say that I read the article in the Timberjay and Jim, you really couldn't have made a bad decision here. I think it was win win. You release it and it's still out there for others (and a good bit of advertising for the Lake) You keep it, and even if it's shy of the record, you can put it on the wall and there will be plenty more to come along.

Don't beat yourself up about this.

I agree.

[heartattack22]

What were the dimensions on the fish?

[slick814]

beautiful fish!!! And to have released it when it is either a state record or even coming close had to be a tough decision! I do agree, though, that it's win-win. Either way, I don't see how anyone could hold that against you. Just once, I'd love to have to make that choice.

Congrats!

The hat in the first photo was a much better one

[Silver Scale]

I fished Johnson and where I usually catch Crappies I caught one walleye in 9 feet. That was my first and only time out so far. I have to take Kelly to Duluth today to X-mas shop

Lucky you.....

Mr. Ryan has been doing pretty good on the crappies but I'll let him tell you where....

Stay out of the tackle stores. LOL.
