[esox addict]

What a pig! What's the girth on that fish?

[Random guy]

Who caught who!? That is one fat fish!

[gkl]

Amazing!

[D-Rock88]

That is the fattest Vermilion fish I have ever seen... guess thats why I go up there. I wonder the weight of that fish, 40 + for certain.

I honestly believe it was over 50 lbs, if not then awfully close. I haven't been told the girth yet, but when I hear I will post it. If it were my fish the replica would be in the works!!

[Doonbuggy]

If the girth on that fish is about 27.5" - which looks very likely - then that's a 50 lber:

53" x 27.5" girth x 27.5" girth /800 = 50 lbs.

Wow!

Now thats what I'm talking about!!

My goofy Lab doesn't even drool like I'm drooling right now. I'd need a case of beer and a carton of smokes to settle down after a catch like that... Very Nice, thank you for sharing the pic.

I dont believe a case of beer would be enough. I'd probably need some Crown to wash the beer down. Wow that is one beuaty of a fish! Makes the 53 I caught look like a frickin' toothpick.

[cliffy]

Oh my lord!!!! I need a minute....ok, that was good.

Great Pic.!!!!

[buzzsaw]

[LEECH21]

Congrats on the sow. It's truly a fish of a lifetime. I get excited just seeing the picture; I can't even imagine landing one of them big girls.

[Hockey Guy]

Anyone know if he released it?

[RuKiddingMe]

Yes it was released to fight another day. That in it's self was pretty sweet.

MetroSteve,

Was the top fish 47" or so? It looks like a fish I caught in August on a lake that looks similar to the background in your picture. Pretty cool if it was. I'd post the pic, but I'm not sure how.

[MetroSteve]

Gundy,

Close Guess, top fish was 48"
