Guest vida26 Report post Posted May 13, 2015 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.

fishman1 164 Report post Posted May 13, 2015 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! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest vida26 Report post Posted May 13, 2015 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!

Trevor Zimak 171 Report post Posted May 13, 2015 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Wetlinetightline Report post Posted May 13, 2015 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest vida26 Report post Posted May 13, 2015 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RatherBeFishin 86 Report post Posted May 13, 2015 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 ! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unbedable 16 Report post Posted May 13, 2015 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!). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fishman1 164 Report post Posted May 13, 2015 I'm only pulling your wire vida. Joking around. Nice fish for sure. Congratulations.PS, do you really carry 4 scales with you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monks 164 Report post Posted May 14, 2015 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tracker 61 Report post Posted May 14, 2015 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. Quote Tracker Team NOSA Homepage Born to Fish, Forced to Work <')(((((>{ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ralphthedog 2 Report post Posted May 15, 2015 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)... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
