Willy Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 How about this pig I released this winter. A shade under 29" and the sow had a 20" girth. Just figured out how to post pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzsaw Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Holy cow! Break out the bigguns!! Very nice fish, is it on your wall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Thanks, and it isn't on my wall just yet. I don't think that there is a taxidermist with a mold for a fish with that girth. I would think the same about your fish. So if anyone knows if I could get a mold of a fish with that girth let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzsaw Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 I'm bringing it to a guy tonight, who is bringing it to his friend who does taxidermy. He also did my duck last year and did a great job! I'm not aware that a 19 or 21 inch girth being a problem. I'll follow up after I talk to my buddy tonight and give you a referral! He is very reasonable as well.

Jim Hudson Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 BDRWhat did that fish go? Nice fish guys!!!!!! Cant wait to start fishing them here on the big pond and up in the rivers around my parts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDR Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Hey JimI don't have a wieght for it. It was the fattest 28.5" I have ever seen. My guess would be around 10#. When I pulled it up I thought for sure it would break my mark of 30.5" but I guess it's girth fooled me.Still looking at hitting them smallies, hope it can work out.

Willy Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Nice fish BDR. I have some pics of fish that size that I'd post but they aren't digital and the scanner only does black and white ones. I think by looking at some of the pics of you guys, we saw you on the Rainy (kind of hard to miss Matt in that red jacket ).Was a heck of a good week eh. We were in a Mag 165 Alumacraft with a 60 Yammy four stroke tiller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Hudson Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Definately 10 at least.. And you got it.. smallie fishing is only a stones throw away... we got drenched last night with rain, and a lot of ice sank and disappeared... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishin magician Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I'd tell ya but I'd have to kill ya. Up north.When the sun goes down...the magician hits the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeyes Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Fair enough. The reason that I ask is because there is only a select few of us that take our night fishing seriously and it is always nice to meet others who enjoy night fishing. Do you have any room for another guy on some of your runs. I could always use another night fishing buddy and it looks like we live close by. Can you tell the story about the fish your holding in the white sweatshirt? Looks to be in a class by itself a true sumo piggy. Feel free to Email me [email protected] if you would like.

bigeyes Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Magician I remebered who you are now, I knew your handle rang a bell. You are the guy that Mike has been taking out night fishing last fall. I was even going to go out with you two a couple times, but it did not work out. Anyway maybe we can all hook up this year. I am glade Mike has got you sworn to secrecy!

fishin magician Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Yes that was a nice fish. That is my buddy pictured with that big gal. We never put a scale to it but it was over 32". What areas do you fish? Lakes. I fish all over but concetrate on the Longville area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigeyes Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Sorry, I thought you were the guy Mykal was bringing out last year. Longville is a long ways from my neck of the woods. Anyway if you would like to talk more or go fishing some time shoot me an email james.a.hoogers at wellsfargo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishin magician Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Is Cory around today? I think we may have to hook up this summer and find some night time walters. Looks like we may have a few things in common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
