Big Bow!!!

[Doctrt]

I picked up this nice buck on a nearby trib last week. After measuring the length at 32 3/4 inches I was convinced it was a very big fish.

 

 

 

After measuring the girth at 18 inches and doing so me quick math, I realized this fish would only go 13 lbs 3 oz. Still a beauty but my weight guessing seems a bit off of late. I could only imagine what a 43lb record bow would feel like! I get the feeling that mark will never be bested by a wild fish.

Nice catch. Fairly dark fish with great colours. I wouldn't worry too much about its weight, it's a great catch.

Great report and pics Doctrt

 

The measurements alone is good enough for me.... WTG

Thanks for sharing

I wouldn't get too hung up on the never ending "how much does a fish weigh" argument..I catch a tonne of steelies, and I would consider that a great catch any day

That is a salmon pretending to be a trout. So he can flirt with all other female trout.

 

What a size! Great catch!

Very chunky fish, my PB is longer than that by quite a bit but I am sure that fish outweighs it. They never seem to weigh as much as you would think haha

 

great fish

Hold the fish out when taking a picture and the weight jumps to 17lbs.
