Size of Walleye/Pickeral

[Guest vida26]

I respect everyones opinion, I was totally expecting everybodys estimate on my two fish. Even when I sometimes look at the picture I don't see how its 14lbs but that fish was caught right off my camp shoreline...I had time to weigh that thing 4 times with a different scale each time(each varying from 13-14.5lb)... as much as other people disagree with the weight, that's fine...but you got to take into consideration that the only pics I have of that is broadside view. Its hard to see the thickness etc.... I have caught 6,7,8 pounders at the same lake, they don't come close to what I caught off my shoreline...ps:the way people hold their fish in pictures don't always look like the actual size of the fish thanks for the comments guys.

Taking a picture of a fish, is like taking a picture of your girlfriend.

It was a ten when I took the picture, but a 6-7 when I showed my friends!

to fishman and biloski,

they are not exaggerations of any percentage!!! like I said all fishing photos now a days are taken to make the fish look huge and not its actual size! they do that by holding it out as you probably know. but I hate doing that in pictures with trophys!

I could probably looks at a bass and tell you to .1 of a pound what it is. A big walleye on the other hand... usually way off.

I find it hard to believe u weighed it 4 times with different scales ND it varied from 13 to 14.5 pounds lol . Just my two cents either way there both nice fish . Tight lines bud

[Guest vida26]

thanks man. im not trying to argue with anyone... everyone has there own opinions at first look! But u have my word I did weigh it 4 times. I wanted to be sure as possible for the weight. That's why I have two extra scales in my boat and two on my pack

We should have a guessing competition where people post pics and everyone guesses its weight.

Once again pretty sure Vida didnt ask anyones opinion on weather or not they thought that fish was 14 lbs. I think thoose r a couple of beuty looking fish !! As for everyone who apparently can put a weight to a fish by one broadside pic mybe its better to just keep your jealous opinions to yourself !

[unbedable 16]

I think its impossible to tell. The first fish I think looks bigger cause its fat, but was just a tad over 3 lbs. The other one was midway between 8 and 9 (this was interesting as a second larger one followed it to the boat!).

[unbedable 16]

But I mean, who can really tell

[fishman1 164]

I'm only pulling your wire vida. Joking around. Nice fish for sure. Congratulations.

PS, do you really carry 4 scales with you?

[Monks 164]

I always find Walleye look small in pictures.

Probably because they are really boring to catch, have very little fight and are not that interesting of a fish...eh Roger .

Good luck this weekend everyone, I'm looking forward to catching a few hogs on Saturday.

Look forward to seeing some pics from everyone.

I agree Kyle LOL

And yes, go out have fun. But most importantly

DONT DRINK AND DRIVE/BOAT

WEAR YOUR PFD

BE SAFE!

[Guest vida26]

fishman,

yea I actually do have 4 scales... mostly just during the may long.lol

Here's a nice local fish that was caught and released. 9.79 pounds.

Its too bad the fish is in the way, we could have tried to guess her girth. I say by the size of her hands it's 36.

She could be using these, don't let her fool you.

Let's be nice, I'm sure there are other women on this board.

I'm sure Vida is telling the truth. Very familiar with that lake and have seen a lot of 12lb+ fish pulled from there. Hopefully I can do the same tomorrow in that same spot (if I beat him there)...
