Scott K Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Box, did you let Ryan set the hook for ya? Or did you just get lucky and the fish swallowed the hook? We all know you cant get a good hookset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blakeb Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 ohh yeah, what do you think she weights? 39.5 and no girth measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsnutter Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Great way to start off the flat season Blake. Here is a weight estimator. looks like a beaut!http://www.kingofthecats.org/Flathead_Weight_Conversion.xls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTro Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 This time of year a 40" fish has a girth of anywhere from about 24-26". I'd say 30lbs +/-3. Great fish! That's how I want to start too.....one of these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesnowtaWild Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 With no girth and going off of that picture (hard to tell) but I would guesstimate somewhere in the 25-30 lb ballpark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I want to start too.....one of these days. Well hey Darren, John and I have been catching you "bait" as John so eloquently put it the other night ... I'm sure a seven lb. flat will net a big momma for ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MinnesnowtaWild Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I expect to see quite a few new pictures in here between now and next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan z Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 im guessing there wont be many pics from this weekend. we went out last night and not even a run. water temp is only 50-52 degress. not to mention not even a walleye. we camped on the river last night and came in because the bait was not there. but still good luck to all the fishermen this weekend.

Whisker Warrior Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Hey Dan were you camping with three other boats between st. peter and Le Sueur??? If so i was the one who cruised by around 630pm with the dogs in the jon boat...we ended up getting only two fish down river from you guys not too far....
