My biggest yet! pics included

[setterguy]

Last night I had the privilige of hooking up with a beauty, a 22" fish in the Chisago area. Unfortunatly I forgot my digital camera, luckily I had the spare disposable in the boat. Fish came out of 5 feet of water, sitting next to a 2" stick that was sticking out of the water. I thought it was a pike the way it was making runs but to my surprise it was a BIG piggy. I will post some pics as soon as I get the film developed (c'mon walgreens open darn it) We caught 5 nice fish last night and all were in less than 5 feet of water. Here is the picture, not the best, but I'm just glad they turned out at all with it being a 3 year old disposable .

Nice fish Justin! That's definitely a pig!

Awesome fish. I love those pike fighting bucketmouths. I had one pull so hard the other day that my rod started making those creaking sounds.

nice fish, did you guys weigh the thing? looks like a 4 pounder. I always got the digital scale with me so people wont try to downplay my fish

[Mark Christianson]

Nice fish Setter!!

At 22 inches, I am going out on a limb to say it broke 4 lbs by a whole lot senkoskipper...

[TurnUpTheFishing]

No kidding. Very nice fish, Id say atleast 6lbs.

[setterguy]

Nope, didn't get it on the scale. With the high water temps I got a quick measurement a few pics then back to the water, trying not to stress it too much. Anyone have any idea how old a fish like that is?

[senkoskipper]

Well we will never know will we? the whole formula to guess weight by multiply length x girth divided by e=mc^2 to the 10th power then take the square root of Pi to formulate the obdula oblongata of the derivitive of the s factor to determine weight is stupid. Spend 20 bucks, get a digi and no one will ever doubt you again.

And im not taking anything away from seterguys fish. I said it looks like a 4 pounder (which is a nice fish).

[TurnUpTheFishing]

Ive heard it takes 10 years for a fish to hit 5lbs in MN. So Id say 12 years isnt to far fetched.

[Stratosman]

Nice haul dude, who needs a digital scale anyway, I have never carried one, I guess I'm not much into weight anyway, length can always be converted into approximate weight if you feel the need, and if people doubt you and try to discredit you as is so often the case here, forget em!

[setterguy]

I do have a digital scale but really didn't even think about weighing the fish, I actually caught the fish in our league which is based on inches so I was just pumped about the 11 points that it scored!

[TurnUpTheFishing]

I agree, its better to have a 22" healthy fish released than a 6lb 4oz. floater.

[Jeremiah Johnson]

Nice fish Setter, you guys are pulling ahead in the league, u should just muskie fish on the remainding monday nights

Setterguy,

Great fish, 4lb's? Yeah right. That is easily over 5 no problem!

Nice work

[Duffman]

Sweet fish Setter! Congrats! Nice color and length, not to mention the monster headsize. That baby goes six pounds easily, and may even be approaching 7 lbs. towards fall. Good job man.

[setterguy]

I thought that might be you Jermiah, you spell like you work. Terribly.

Very nice bass Sguy! Its so hard to tell how big fish are in pics now days the way some people hold them 3ft in front of them and a foot from the camera. Duffmans trout looks like a whale in his avator the way hes holding it but those fingers always give ya away If I had to guess weight on the nice bass I'd say 5 - 5 1/2pds. Just my guess. Congrads on the sweet catch man.
