DTro Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 I have no doubt in my mind whatsoever that if I still lived up there I would be in BIG trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjac Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 The Big V is really producing.....Add a 56" from guide Josh Borovsky to the list last week. WOW is all I can say..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainMusky Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 WOuld be nice to see the 58" fish with a "regular" hold....To be quite honest, If you showed me the pictures without telling me which one was which I would say the 55" fish DWARFS the other one The guy holding the 55 is a much smaller person too, so I proportion it looks larger. Either way, they are both giants. IMO there is no mistaking the first one is definitely bigger. The guy holding it is eclipsing the sun!

Tippman Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Interesting story:Was fishing Big V last week and saw a fish that I didn't even believe could be at first due to the shear size, until it started swimming away. Saw her 3 times total once on quick sideways run at my lure. Was telling someone up there about her and he said that happened to be the spot where the 58" was taken, what a fish. I saw more BIG fish last week than I've ever seen before. Pretty sure I saw about a half dozen different fish in the mid 50's...yes mid 50's not low. It was just amazing. You know things are good up there when Tony Grant, Greg Thomas, Bob Mesikomer, Hammernick, and I don't know how many other big names were all up there recently. I saw about half of these guys running around out there either doing shows or with their clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delcecchi Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 so, which end of the lake was the alleged 58 taken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzeback Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 That's great that you saw a fish that big Tippman. It's awesome when you can see one that can re-define your perception of the relative size of these fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
