Fat Fish

[fishbreath]

Did you ever see a fish like this. How much do you think it weighs. 48"length, 28.5" girth, on 8lb test.

Nice weird looking fish. It looks like it has excess skin hanging and not really heavy full. I had a 32 inch walleye that was thin and only weighed 9.5lbs. It was right after the spawn. Did you catch it? Do you know how much it weighed? Be prepared for some accusations of the legitimacy from these guys. Someone will always question weird photos.

Thats crazy! I think it was a record before it got it's stomach stapled and shrunk.

That is obviously no fake - it would be pretty tough to fake that picture - where was it caught? I would hate to even guess the weight - I imagine if that thing had a full stomach it would go close to 40?? Any other guesses?? I would like to hear more about the story on how it was caught - 8 pound test and all...very nice fish!

I first read about the fish in our local paper in the fishing report. Then I found it under our fish commission web site. www.fish.state.pa.us Its on the home page.

I was after another pig years ago in another lake here in Pa. when they drained the lake bacause of a leak in the dam. they found my fish 51.5" 41lbs. tiger.
