Christopheraaron Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 On the Columbia I can see that being true, it is a world famous trout river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bare foot wader Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 dang, we caught some 1-5lbs in the Columbia, return trip may be in order! many out west anglers consider bass, walleye and pike to be garbage fish, even where they occur naturally and are not invasive...trout and salmon are obviously the only trophy fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many bass fisherman here feel the same way about trout and salmon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 No need for a road trip, Lake O has them and Paul's 18 pounder is hanging on our wall!! You'll have to ask him about his pants though, he does his own laundry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 I'd love to see a photo of the 18lbs'er.... even if it is just the mount.... that is freaking huge!!! 16lbs is the biggest I've seen in photo or otherwise. Amazing fish Paul ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darsky Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 walleye weights do look deceiving in photos. I dropshotted up a 10 lber near Cornwall once and in my pics it really looks 6-7 lbs tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The picture above if I didn't know better id estimate the weight 10 pounds or less.... But it's nearly double that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) Ya, it's also the way you hold it. In the pic of the 20 plus lbr in the link, the guy is holding it out toward the camera, whereas Paul is holding it against his body. I kind of go by the hands and head size of the fish if possible. So you look at the guy's hand compared to the tail area where Paul is holding his and you can kind of see what I'm talking about. Camera's are the pits for good estimates though. You really need to weigh or take measurements. The fish actually weighed less when it arrived at the taxidermist's from water weight loss.
