limeyangler Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 LOL…the fishing shows are the worst for that.
Joeytier Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 Haha!! Makes me think of that goof Ron James Ron: "Ohhhh bud that's gotta be 15 pounds at least!!" Guide: "i'd say about 6 or 7"
nancur373 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 I know a guy who apparently routinely catches 40-50lb muskie in the Kawarthas every year.
mike rousseau Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 Most walleye over 7lbs around here get rounded to 10.... I'm always hearing about 10 pounders being caught... But when asked if they actually weighed them they say no...
Handlebarz Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 Yesterday we were at day one of a local show in harrow Ontario talking musky with everyone and it was as usual comical to here the stories from many of the people. But I guess if your a perch/walleye fisherman and you get a 40" musky it would seem to be 60" #40-50. I still love to talk to all of them even the 4 that were either trying to get me upset or just do eat musky. I did educate that on size limits and each was shocked to know that we have a 44" minimum not 30-36" as they had thought. It's all about education with kids gloves on and also remembering that one day we to we're not as educated on the sport that is a obsession now.
Moosebunk Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 A 72-inch (or was it pound) pike was caught off the dock at Kesagami Lake. Took 4 hours to reel in, then it was shot in the head by the angler in front of Lodge guests. Said to me with a completely straight face and total conviction by the angler. Yeah right! The local tackle shop owner had two fish on the wall, a speck and an eye. The speck was about 4 pounds, the eye maybe 6 to 7 pounds... but of course when I asked, they were 8 and 12 respectively. Yeah right! Did say to him that he was waaaaay off... but that didn't go over well. lol. Earlier stories these were... Truth is, many people don't care and just say what they think their fish is. Oblivious to what is real... they just don't care. It's a case of the "whatevers." There's also those who just have no idea and take their best guess. And then there's the opposite, the guys who care soooo much that they have to stretch things. We on the internet see and hear more than most too
i2cool2fool Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 ...and then there are others who are not in a comipission or urination celebration. "I caught a decent fish. It made me happy. I decided to release/eat it. It brought me great joy and I believe I will try again."
mike rousseau Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 ...and then there are others who are not in a comipission or urination celebration. "I caught a decent fish. It made me happy. I decided to release/eat it. It brought me great joy and I believe I will try again." For me it's in my personality... Numbers get in my head... I have a walleye database I built cause of this... Usually I fish to the nearest 5... If I'm at 8 fish usually won't stop till I hit 10... If we get 11 I gotta shoot for 15... When I'm with my son I don't really care... It's a boat ride and any fish are a bonus...
danc Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 I just round off my Brook Trout to the nearest 10 lbs. So far, they have all been 10 lbs. Truth is that I havent weighed one in decades. I dont really care what they weigh.
kickingfrog Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Posted March 10, 2014 I just round off my Brook Trout to the nearest 10 lbs. So far, they have all been 10 lbs. Truth is that I havent weighed one in decades. I dont really care what they weigh. They all taste the same.

Terry Posted March 10, 2014 Report Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) I remember that one. Edited March 10, 2014 by Terry
Moosebunk Posted March 10, 2014 Report Posted March 10, 2014 I think the fish was it's Grandpapa. That one still had two inches and one long nose to grow.

akaShag Posted March 12, 2014 Report Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Interesting photo on that MB pike. Not sure I am buying the 60" measurement. But back to the OP, please don't rain on my parade wen I say my crappie weighed two pounds, OK? (If you're going to prevaricate, pick numbers that mess with people's heads...............)
