Muskieman Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 12 pounds my ass! I have a 22 1/2 on my wall i'm looking at right now, it weighed in at 6lb10oz. and was very fat when i caught it, as for the age , you can take a scale and count the rings like a tree to determine the age within a year or two, this works on bass that are over 15" or so, i caught mine in Gull Lake behind River Valley my taxidermist said it was over 20 years old , i also have 2 x 20" on the same peice of driftwood and he estimated those at around 17 years of age. as for the taste , Bass is'nt the best in the first place it must of tasted like a pair of wet muckluks, never mind the rubber boots. Are there any pics of this fish anywhere? Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishindevil Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Today i went to the O.F.A.H headquarters in peterbourgh...and i quote " thats not a 12lb smallie" he is known to have been saying that about fish he has caught in the past like a 19lb walleye ,a 50lb muskie,and so on....well nobody ever sees his big fish soi right away it would raise alarm bells.....the formula would make that bass round and prob not be able to swim at all.....its maybe about 7lbs....thats what they told me...so he is a scam......NOT tRUE......why didnt he know about what he might have had...is he an IDIOT...well thats an easy answer??????

camillj Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 All I can say is that if the fish he is holding is anything close to 24" girth .. then he has 12" fingers .... he's a GIANT ! My guess .. that fish is 4.5 TOPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danc Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 This story doesn't interest me at all. But I'd just like to point out the a few comments have said that if the girth was equal to the length, then the fish should have been round. Please take a moment to learn what girth actually means.

silvio Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 If that guy holds the fish any closer to the camera it's going to become part of it. Any closer and the only thing were going to see is 1 scale. No way is it 12 pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Clemens Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Yeah .. I saw that pic in the Ottawa Sun while I was on the Rideau Last week. There's something wrong with the photo ... it just doesn't look to be anywhere near 12+ pounds. But ... I wasn't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemper Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Dad caught a 22 incher last summer. It was 4 lb 7oz. So that 22 incher DOES NOT weigh 12 pounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singingdog Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 I haven't heard anyone present this possiblity: the scale was set to Kg, not lbs? 12kg would be right about 5.5lbs, which seems fairly close to what that fish looks to weigh.

Carmen Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Actually 12Kg is more like 26Lb, I think the problem is he was using the old imagination scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
