Fish Farmer Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 I have a 22" smallie on my wall and it's 6 1/2 LBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookset Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 (edited) I think the Ottawa Newspaper should be embarrassed for even printing the story. If they spent 2 minutes trying to verify, they'd come to the same conclusions as everyone on this board posted. That's something you would expect to read in the National Enquirer. Right next to the story about Paris Hilton giving birth to an Aliens Baby. If the dude who caught the fish has near to as much experience fishing as he claims he does, he would know it's no record. Or even close. 12 pounds my butt !!! Hookset. Edited July 19, 2007 by Hookset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_paul Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 (edited) That's something you would expect to read in the National Enquirer.Right next to the story about Paris Hilton giving birth to an Aliens Baby. She didn't????? Oh ya, forgot to add nice fish, not 12lb, closer to 6 but nice fish all the same. Edited July 19, 2007 by steve_paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboy Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 The only thing lamer (is that a word?) than him eating the thing is thinking it weighed anything over 7.5 lbs-and that's being generous. Obviously the newspaper reporter has never caught a decent smallie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Notice where the guys from, pretty close to Ottawa, sounds like a few politicians we all know, blue eyed with a little brown horizontal line running through their eyes...down a quart.

icedude Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 nice fish but not a chance-12 pounds--you're killin me here..lol!-we play that SMB Lake Simcoe game on a weekly basis--yesterday we tucked into them pretty good--3-4-pound range--10-16 FOW--shoal fishin-most success from a watermelon-colored Husky Jerk Rap--went snorkeling--water was 72 degrees--we saw some amazing SMB down there-water plays funny games but 6 pounders to be sure and some long pike--pike would follow every cast--no hook up The Lake Simcoe Bass Factory will hold the world record in this anglers opinion Tight Lines all!

bassjnkie Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 12Lb 6.5oz I have a grafite mount 5Lb 2oz smallie and it looks similar in size. He's holding so far out, Maybe next time he can put the fish in the camera. 12Lb my A##. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 If someone believes that fish is 12 Lbs. then I've got some ocean front property in Iowa to sell then. Zib, do you photos of this property? HAHAHAHAHAHA Theres no way in ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, no way. Still a nice fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunkerbasshunter Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 its a beauty of a fish! But 12lbs is pretty unrealistic. I would say it would be close to 7 but im seriously doubting the 24inch girth they claim. That fish is easy 10 years old. Wish he would of let it go. Cheers!

lookinforwalleye Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 I think it`s all been pretty much said but I will add the guys a fool and the paper should be embarrased for printing such a story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handlebarz Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Whoes eyes look foggier the fish or his? Maybe his scale starts at 6LBS good luck to him and by the way I want him on our team to do the measuering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookslav Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 If that fish is 12 pounds.... He's got a VERY happy Wife I'd bet (see the size of his fingers???) LOL!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigeonfisher Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 I was there when he weighed it. Happened to be passing through on business. It weighed 12 6 on two scales. Beleive 1/2 of what you read and none of what you hear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbouck Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 I caught a 19 pound largie yesterday that was 21 inches long! Too bad I forgot the camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weedman Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Well, at least a couple of you caught the fact that the guy's fingers are the envy of any proctologist in the picture. It's a classic case of camera trickery. Matter of fact the fish is so far out from the guys body, I don't even think his elbows are bent. The fish is 6 1/2 to 7 pds. max!! But, a very nice fish none-the-less. It looks just a little bigger than my PB of 6 1/4 caught on a spinnerbait from an island saddle in Chemung 3 summers ago. Can't believe the reporter getting snookered into printing that story..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishboy Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Nice fish but you are going a little heavy on the sunscreen. Need to tan a little bit I wonder how he gets a hat to fit; maybe a cardboard box? He needs to smooth the corners a bit there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
