BillM Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 In order to enter, you should have to take a pic of the fish, with your forum username and a peice of paper the time/date Anyone could make up measurements if they want. I am sure there are a few people on that list that just wanted to see their name on the internet, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucktail Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 A 27 inch speck from Wilmot................COME ON!!!!!!!!!! At least make it beleivable! Makes me mad when I hear crap like this.It takes away from peoples accomplishments with real trophy fish. 36 inch walleye....NOT! 53 inch Pike NOT!!!!!! Hey Mepps guess we should have added 6 inches to our pike too! 29 inch largemouth........... do the math on that, they don't even come that long on the Stick Farm or other Trophy southern waters. I am going to submit my 22 inch perch this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccmtcanada Posted March 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 I dont worry about other ppl's entries. I know mine are genuine, and that's all that matters. But you are right....I've never heard of a speck coming from the Wilmot...maybe it made a wrong turn at Albuquerque??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelly Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 DanC, I was thinking the same thing about Bountyhunter that it might be a steelhead but was not 100% sure. Your friend Beamish always enter some nice catches. I figure you didn't enter because the way they run it and we all here on the board have seen your pics. It not all about the size (LOL) Cliff mention it best "it was just a honour to be nominated" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyhook Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 its a shame that some of these crazy catches take away from some of the good fish caught during the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its 7 lbs and change. I know this shouldnt bother me but it does. I grew up in quinte and 34 inch eye is the biggest I have ever seen close up yet every week from Oct to Feb28th someone is catching a 16 lb plus fish. I once saw a 36 inch eye I estimate in the Moira on a spawning run 20 years ago. Slayinem and my freind Chris's eyes are the 2 biggest I have seen east of the Missippi this year in print or the internet. CCMT 's is very close behind. Oh and the pike ................................................. 42.2 is the current record for Ontario Here is my 48 inch 29-31lb pike.....and that other fish is nearly 40% bigger............................. My Freind Chris's 15.0lb eye on a digital scale Finally my 22 inch PB smallie from simcoe this fall. Thanks Misfish for the spot!!!! Dan has seen what a 25 inch spec looks like...it will blow your noodle when you see one like that. Even for Nipigon thats almost maxed out. Done my rant on fish exaggeration for the year.. I do it once a year. Thanks for listening people! And thanks to all the real sportsman out there that tell the truth!! Somehow they all seem to belong to this board!

bucktail Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Terry Didnt say they cant be, just that one over 36 is an EXTREMELY rare fish! People throw these numbers around like they are caught every week. Thats an awesome fish dude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 ok then I was just checking......LOL and you are right they are very rare and I doubt most of the entries well except cliff and fishindevil and Barnie's Band of gold\and other OFNers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelly Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Bucktail, I think your pic with the smallmouth is one of the holes that I fish. If it's the same one, the average bass there are good size and sometimes they are stack and other time they come and go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4thgen Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 I can't believe nobody has touched on the fact that 90% of the "cohos" are dirty old chinooks. The Fishing Canada contest at least required a measurement picture that some people still took advantage of by holding the tape measure well behind the fish to add on like 6" (ie. Gary Hodge). The only way to do it properly, in my opinion, is to have a measurement shot with a name brand measuring tape on a level surface. I understand that there aren't really any prizes so they don't care if people lie, but if half of the entries are fake, what's the point in running the awards at all?

BLACKFISH88 Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Here's one from quinte last winter not a great pic but it was huge I estimated 14lbs. I was amazed at the size was only kept because it was bleeding profusely from gills. I still think that santa won with his 30lb zander LOL.
