siwash Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 That the first 40+ salmon from Cdn waters in years... That guy should win it...
FloatnFly Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 don't be surprised to see more 40lb + salmon this summer, specially when they start to produce eggs
wormdunker Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 Where did he catch it? Pleez don't tell me "right by the lip". LOL!
Sinker Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 Weighed in port hope. There was one entered last year as well. They're out there, and even bigger. S.
206 Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 I heard the rumor in town here last night. That would be quite the fish!!
Ralph Field Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 Hope he was entered in the tourney, as it may be the largest fish entered.
Sinker Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 Ya, it was entered in the derby, and its on top as of right now. Might hold out, but I know there are some big fish out there this year, lots of bait, and they only get bigger from here on out! Don't be surprised if there are bigger fish entered! S.
Roy Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 Is it still at rumour stage or is there documentation somewhere...a pic perhaps? It'd be nice to see. OOPS, sorry Sinker...hadn't seen your post.
captpierre Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 Anybody know if a money fish like this gets checked for added weight like lead, rocks stuffed inside?
Spiel Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 Daily updates for the GOSD here........... http://www.greatontariosalmonderby.ca/updates/
fishindevil Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 Yes the fish is kept frozen and verified and given back to the guy a fish of that size is checked !!!! That's an awesome king for sure !!!! Hope he wins ... There will still be some monsters weighed in at port credit and bronte yet. !!!! Those fish will gain 1-2lbs a week from here on in !!!! Great sign to see a 40 in the derby !!!!!! Cheers to the guy !!! "Clink"
chessy Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 bet you that fish is chalked full of golbies thank god for the round golbies as they are making the fish bigger and healthier
captpierre Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 didn't think Kings feed on gobies on the bottom?
Sinker Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 Gobies??? hahaha I doubt it! These are open water fish, that feed on schools of baitfish. They don't hang around port hope harbour eating gobies!! A mature chinook can gain 10 lbs in a summer. That's a lot of gobies! lol S.
Sinker Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 And yes, fish gets checked for sure. Also, the fisherman can be given a lie detector test if there are any questions. S.
Roy Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 A lie detector...pretty sad state of affairs when you need to go that far for a fishing tourney.
misfish Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) Seems to be a hatchery fish. Just pasting what I read. It was a huge salmon, with an Adipose fin Clip which suggests that it was aHtchery rasied fish. A lie detector.. Theres a reason for that. You be surprised me brudder what one will do to win . Edited July 14, 2013 by Misfish
jace Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 some derbies check otoliths for identifying heat marks and also genetics tests. It's nothing to ship a fish in from across the country/state or from another water system if the prize is big enough.
fishindevil Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 Those kings are feeding on alewives and just gorging !!!!! They don't eat gobies off the bottom !!! I wish they did .... The 8lb smallies in Erie and simcoe are eating gobies !!!!!! The kings ply the open water and chase down schools of baitfish !!!!
Fish Farmer Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 As the derby progresses the fish start getting smaller. That fish has reached its prime. now it's down hill. Every year that happens, the largest fish is caught in the first week.
FloatnFly Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 As the derby progresses the fish start getting smaller. That fish has reached its prime. now it's down hill. Every year that happens, the largest fish is caught in the first week. so you're sayimg the females get smaller as they GAIN 5-10lbs in eggs???
