Photo Majic

[Random guy]

Joel sent me this picture of a channel I caught about a week ago. So how big do you suspose that fish is?

The photo has been altered, I blacked out the background because it is not my spot to give away.

Wanna guess how many lbs.?

Joel and Dennis can't play.

[Random guy]

The fish lbs, not the fat guy holding it you smart arse.

[rushing]

5lbs?

You sure have a long left arm!

[MachineHead]

In current condition: 9 lbs.

Looks post spawn. Also has large head and long heavy barbels. Big eye, too. Out-strectched arm adds to illusion of it being XBOX in size.

[harvey lee]

One large eye and white at that and alot of whiskers.I would guess 165.

[hanson]

4lbs

[LEECH21]

12 lbs....what do I win?

[DTro]

That fish is really grayish/blue, now you can see why some people call them blues by mistake.

Oh....that fish is no more than 5.

I sure wish we would have taken pictures of the channel cats we caught up on the Red last weekend. We caught plenty of fish in the 3-5 pound range that ran the full range of coloration for channel cats.

The 23" channel cat we weighed for the tourny was 4.4lbs. It was one of those awesome golden colored channels with pink/purple tint in the skin and fins. Really pretty fish. This one was also rock solid with a good set of shoulders on it for a 4lb fish.

We also caught plenty of channels in that 24" range that looked like miniatures of the "wide body" 20 pounders that swim the Red. They were slate gray in color, fat wide heads, and skinnier tails. Much like the one Jonny P is holding in his picture.

I am guessing between 4.9 and 5.1 lbs.

Is that a channel? Looks like a flathead to me, except the coloration, don't see an under-bite and the eyes seem to be more on the side of the head. Bare in mind I have not caught a channel over 5#s and I know they look different when they start getting into the 10#+ range.

At first glance I was thinking 6-8#'s but when Hanson and Dtro tell us it's not over 4 or 5#'s that tell's me something.

I'm guessing you started the thread because it's a shockingly low number that no one would guess so I'm going with 2-lb's 13-oz's...

And is this like the price is right where everybody that goes over lose's.......2-lb's 13-oz's.....

[Ralph Wiggum]

1 pound, Jon!

[Dennis Steele]

Just tell us what it weighed allready!!!

I can't remember what it weighed and its killing me.

[Ryan Becklund]

I am guessing 7.9# and I agree with dennis

I think it was clearly stated above that you can't play

Doesn't matter if you took your Ginkoba or not.

[Random guy]

Umm, Dennis I was hoping you could recall the lbs.

It was roughly five pounds, looks a little different on the bottom of the boat.

[MachineHead]

Give it three months and a whole lotta of chow and I would have been right.

[Dennis Steele]

I do remeber I wasn't impressed.
