Roy Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 An absolutely beautiful fish for sure. I understand when he says about being alone in the boat. Those are the kinds of moments best shared. Glad he had a digicam with him though! BEAUTY! Thanks for posting Lew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Landry Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 (edited) I think he did pretty good, considering he was on his own. NICE FISH! p.s. I'm also ready to go fishing now. Edited January 27, 2008 by Ryan Landry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 You're right, Ryan. Cut the guy some slack guys. He was alone in the boat and I don't know how many of you folks have seen the difference in releasing a 57" as opposed to a 37 incher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musky_man Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 That was a beaut -- thanks, Lew. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 None of the big ones we caught this fall, with Thorpe, seemed to be in any hurry to swim away. They don't even thrash/roll in the net like the smaller ones Lew and I caught on the BOG this fall did. It's like..."I've been here before..get them hooks out of my face and let me go about my business". Then they take their time at the side of the boat and slowly swim away. Great find Lew !

Guest skeeter99 Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 sorry just a observation!!!! I did not say he did not do a good job!!! she just looked like she was done from the video rolling up on her side. the stress on the fish of her size is huge and does kill some of them a few hours later. but a beast to say the least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handlebarz Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Dang that was a beast. Yep them big girls like to take there time and just take a slow leave from the boat it is nice sight to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
