Guest fishintbay Report post Posted September 24, 2010 seen this on the weather network site . do u think this is a 44 lbs salmon http://www.theweathernetwork.com/your_weat...ugc_city_thumbs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mad Trapper Report post Posted September 24, 2010 Its hard to tell for sure but I would say its more between 25 to 27 lbs. MT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest troutsandy Report post Posted September 24, 2010 haha I saw that pic on there too...judging by the lack of effort that the kid is putting towards holding that fish up I would hardly give it 20lbs. There is no doubt its a nice salmon but 44lbs is at least double what it probably is hahaha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest troutsandy Report post Posted September 24, 2010 annd I forgot to mention that salmon is spelt wrong and that doesnt do much to validate the story haha...44lbs Samon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dan Report post Posted September 24, 2010 44 lbs would smash the Lake Superior record by about 12 lbs., according to a self proclaimed local record holder of Superior Salmon. Also the poster claims to have landed it by "HERSELF". She calls herself Janet. Nice fish Janet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Castnblast 86 Report post Posted September 24, 2010 44 lbs would smash the Lake Superior record by about 12 lbs. Looks like 27 - 28 give or take. Looks like the west coast river and fish in some weird way - or is that just me? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some Old Guy 968 Report post Posted September 24, 2010 Ummmmm No. There is no way that this fish is 44 pounds. I stake my life on that. Man, people are always tring to add a 1/4 to a 1/2 pound more than what the fish really weighs. Unbelievable! Roger Quote R.T.R. Respect the resource!

canadianyanke 7 Report post Posted September 24, 2010 maybe 20 pounds but i think its in the high teens Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullshark 23 Report post Posted September 24, 2010 Dude, that's not 44lbs. Nice fish though. Quote There is a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore like an idiot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AB 98 Report post Posted September 24, 2010 Dude, that's not 44lbs. Nice fish though. If that's a Lake Superior fish @ 44 lbs, where are the little ones in the 20 lb range? Something about this picture and claim are a little fishy, I think it has to much western exposure.... iceman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Walleye Man Report post Posted September 24, 2010 The first 4 should be a 1 probably a typo. Nice fish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smack Um Report post Posted September 24, 2010 14lbs maybe 44lbs fat chance...still a nice fish though. Patrick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wade O. 44 Report post Posted September 24, 2010 That's what I say too.....15-18lbs. No way that kid could one arm a 44lber. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Some Old Guy 968 Report post Posted September 24, 2010 Well maybe that kid Janet is 7'2" and weighs 56 lbs. Ya never know! Roger Quote R.T.R. Respect the resource! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fishinbuddy Report post Posted September 24, 2010 Wouldn't that make the fish look bigger in comparison than it actually is Roger. I was thinking that he may be 7 feet tall or something...... :lol: Sean Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest radar Report post Posted September 24, 2010 here is a pic of a 40 lb salmon caught last year in bc. you do the comparison Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest troutsandy Report post Posted September 24, 2010 thanks for the photo, you can clearly see the strain it takes to hold a 40 pounder up from that one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TerryK Report post Posted September 25, 2010 Not even close. How big would you say this one is? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dan Report post Posted September 25, 2010 Not even close. How big would you say this one is? I'd guess that you're holding about....... 14 lbs. of useless rotting flesh there Terry. You didn't actually weigh it, did you? Just so you know, the new John Street dump won't even take those things. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just so you know, the new John Street dump won't even take those things. I was thinking 14-15, but she was very thick across the back. And she really wasn't bad. Very strong and no bad spots on her body. The picture makes her look darker than she was. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mykiss 28 Report post Posted September 25, 2010 Not even close. How big would you say this one is? Terry: Is that not a fall spawning steelhead......if it was a salmon it would have an adipose fin clip !! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
