archerynut Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I caught this fellow just before the down town stretch of the bow river closed on April 1. I think it was March 28. Cast to him for about a half hour right under the centre street bridge. he was stung by the hook twice before he finally rushed my wooly bugger. was kind of sluggish - the fight I mean - and it was nippy so the fight was over and I let him go quick. he was too big for my net and measured out at just over "25, my biggest to date.

browntrout57 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Well the fish you posted in the 2nd picture is different from the first fish. Spots are quite different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dust1n Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Yup the 2nd one was taken in space JBear did you get the picture? Btw This was taken a few years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JBear Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Im not saying its not a nice fish dustin. And yes i got your pic. 27 and a half inches is a very big trout. Didnt mean to put you down, everyone over estimates their fish, including me, no one is perfect. The one from "space" is a pig though. Was it caught on a fly?

Jayhad Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Both of those pics are the same fish, the spots on the gill plate are the same..... But one is 24 and one is 27.5....... Hmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wrecker Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I think he is saying the two pics are the same, just a bigger fish than the guys brown that started this discussion. My read on it anyhow.. All nice pics. Thanks for putting them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weedy1 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Both of those pics are the same fish, the spots on the gill plate are the same..... But one is 24 and one is 27.5....... Hmm Maybe he purchased an Extend-a-Fish-Elongator. This is the manufacturer's quote from the magazine I saw the advertisement in: "The machine fastens securely to the fish's head and tail; turning the knob advances the ratchet to hyperextend the vertebra." Am I the only one that see a huge problem with this? Pisses me off. How many more fish are people going to kill trying to stretch the fish an extra inch?
