Elwood Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Re: biggest fish Ch why did make the little smirk about being stocked. Why degrade or dispute what another person said that they caught? Apparently he is very proud of the fish or he would not have posted them. How do you know that the shark you caught was 130+ pounds? Did you weigh it or just guess it's size. The way you stated the weights of your fish indicated that you did not weigh them either, you just guessed the weights. It is mighty hard to catch a 12 and a 35 pound even fish. That is just a few questions (not accusations) that could come out of your post. So please don't degrade another persons accomplishments because questions could come up about yours.

Elwood [/ QUOTE ]\ lenght x girth x girth...and length x length x girth/1200....not the most accurate but ehh who cares, the Mako was harvested under a scientific tag, my Uncle works for Woods Hole Oceanography(sp) institue bottomed out a 130 pound scale dockside, enough said but will continue to humor you. The formula for figureing out the weight of trout without a scale(not perfect but close) the equation is as follows Lenght x girth x girth/800 That means your Brown trout was a right around 16 inches in diameter, I've caught four browns over 20" in trout fishing, most where wild fish except one caught in a GL trib in NY. None of those fish where even close to 6 pounds, the one out of the GL trib was right around four and looked more like a cow than a brown trout. Now for my steelhead measurment(stocked fish by the way) 32 x 18 you get 12.96 i round down with all my fish due to tape errors or such. plus its hard to remember 1/16's stream side. I also notice he said south central PA, pretty sure I've fished almost all the rivers around there at some point with my father, have only seen one fish in there over 19" come out of those spring creeks, so what i was wondering if those where PA fish...very few of there trout are wild anyway, or if the good sir had gone west. [ QUOTE ] The other rainbow trout I caught was in the same stream as the brown and caught both of them on a crayfish, something you can't catch stocked fish on until the next year or perhaps later in the year! [/ QUOTE ] I was going to refrain but since you have jumped on the bandwaggon sir, that comment is totally FALSE, and secondly any fish over 20" is FOR SURE a fish older than 1 or even 2 years...i dont care where you are fishing, the growth season isnt long enough in these northern waters.....Maybe on the White in AR. or some of the Georga rivers but not here in the good old midwest, steelhead are close to that growth range after THREE years plowing through the great lakes smelt population. tight lines to both of you, may your assumptions be merry.

carbonhunter Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Re: biggest fish I've fished almost everyriver you mentioned here, except honey and spring creeks, I consider 19" to be a big trout especially on the fly rod, so once again your off on your assumptions. I'm done with the argumentitive tone, where the fish stocked or not, I know of the wild trout fishing in the state, but not many that big. Other than that you havnt argued anything else in the post. Come to ohio and I'll show your trout up to 30" but there stocked and not a whole lot of fun. I'm glad you think you have the best streams in the East, save em up there running out. done with this post, everone takes such offence to remarks anymore without giving more than one thought to its meaning. p.s. what did the record brown weight?

Elwood Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Re: biggest fish CH I did not ask you for an explination for your fish, if you say that is what you caught then who am I to dispute what you have stated. I do not personally know you so I would not doubt your integrety. I was pointing out that you should not make pointed remarks at other peoples accomplishments that you can only back up with ball park formulas. I have seen these formulas be off as much as three pounds on bass and they do not work for all fish because they are built differently. Try it on a bass then a pike after that put them on the scale. It may open you eyes. I'm sure that it would humor me some more. Cheers Elwood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeramie Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Re: biggest fish Large mouth 10+lbs (I fish our ponds, they literally have numerous 6+lb fish). Hybrid Bass- 17lbs (had it mounted) Aligator Gar- 45lbs but the biggest is a spoon bill (paddle fish) when I was 15. It weighed in at 96lbs. The record was somewhere in the neighborhood of 103.

Turkeygirl Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 Re: biggest fish My biggest fish I caught this spring - Steelhead - 32 inches...estimated 12 pounds...he was 9 pounds without the head/tail and guts we we added about 3 pounds onto that....wish I could have entered him in the contest but I forgot,lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsmola Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Re: biggest fish Largemouth Bass- about 5.5 lbs Nothern Pike- about 10-12 lbs Channel Cat about 5-6 lbs Bluegill- no clue I've caught so many over 10 in. Crappie- about 7-8 in. I've only caught one Perch-ummm about 10-12 in. I think, (when I was fishing with my friend once, he caught one around 15 inches) I don't catch many of these either. Trout- 12-14 in. (forget the exact species) I'm a catch and release guy so I've rarely had my fish weighed, and I've never had a scale that really worked.

Guest andrewsk Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Just to follow up on the measuring of fish. We caught 20+ pike last year that were 40inches plus. The longest was 45 inches and wieghed out at 15 1/2 lbs ... were also had some 40-42 inch fish crack 20lbs ... so even with all the measuring in the world ... you can't beat a good scale.
