SteveM Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Okay okay, here's a real stumper! and that's paul bunyan's hand Well,let's see...just measured my hand & it's 5 1/2" in that position(from thumb to heel). My hand is not particularly big, and I believe LK2 to be a tall fella, leading me to believe that his hand may be larger than mine. The pinky side of his hand is just past the midway point of the trout's length. By accumulating, interpolating, mastur...oops! I mean extrapolating all available data, I can assure you that this fish is between 11" & 12" in length; to be precise, 11 11/16". If LK2 says otherwise, we have no choice but to question his ability to properly measure a fish. On a side note, why are all these measurements in inches? I thought Canada switched to the metric system years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Have a guess at this 2005 Bullshead res. hawg My guess: Length- HOLY S__T!!! Girth - HOLY EFFIN' S__T!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You extrapolated using the known value of your hand to estimate the size of LK2s hand, then extrapolated the size of his hand to the size of the trout. Now if the trout was between the size of your hand and LK2s hand, you could have interpolated. Also if you knew of something that routinely fit into your hand that was larger than LK2s trout, you could have interpolated it to the size of the trout. But if that were the case, you would be posting pictures of said object on a whole other website. Unless of course it works different in metric.

You do realize why we don't use the metric system on this forum, don'tcha? It's just for you, brutha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladystrange Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 On a side note, why are all these measurements in inches? I thought Canada switched to the metric system years ago? because most of you guys were out of school BEFORE the metric system was intorduced. LK2 - 10.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawgstoppah Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Have a guess at this 2005 Bullshead res. hawg Ok wow you guys were close I thought the girth might have thrown you off (I guess your all-stars at ... um... girth studies as it co-relates to length..) The fish was 26" and a ungodly 21 inches girth. Whats that compute at for weight? I'd have to guess this is as close to 10lbs as I have ever come in Bullshead. I did get one @ 27 inches that fall, but no where near the sheer mass this fish displayed. This puppy JUMPED 4 times too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 to be honest I don't actually know the precise measurement of that fish, I just thought it would be funny to post a small fish amongst all the high 20's I'm thinking it was close to 10" though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenbow Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Hawg, That thing is a monster. I can't believe how fat that fish is. What a fish! I woulda' guessed 27. LK, I was gonna guess 8.5" Bobloblaw - good seein' you on the water too brother! Hope to see you more out there. Thanks for shootin' vid & I'll hopefully get it sorted out soon.

At least Rita's big enough to defend herself.... Although, I seem to remember Greg posting his fight record once( on FFA?), & it was impressive.
