jksnijders Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 My main "How Do They Do It?" question is how do guys come up with an "accurate" measurement without actually landing the fish? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FraserN Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I do believe they learn how to throw a hook. Can't count the number of decent trout, especially rainbows, I have lost on the Bow. They do this thing underwater with opening their mouths and the hook pops out more often then not. Browns have this trick of reversing and running straight at you. It produces instant slack in the line leading to a foregone result. It can be very frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokentippet Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 My main "How Do They Do It?" question is how do guys come up with an "accurate" measurement without actually landing the fish? you mean you can't take accurate measurements of fish from a distance with your eyes.......weird, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutlover Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 i have a resident hog that i target every year (26" rainbow) and in the run is a huge boulder and i have hooked him 3 times and landed him once and on every occasion he swims around the front side of the boulder and runs hard down stream.

eagleflyfisher Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 My main "How Do They Do It?" question is how do guys come up with an "accurate" measurement without actually landing the fish? I would say that an accurate measurement is impossible without landing the fish. He simply had a big fish on thought it was about 24 so called it a 24, c'mon were fishermen we don't need no stinkin ruler. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reevesr1 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 How fishermen measure fish: My fish jumps and I say its 24", then it's at LEAST 24". Your fish jumps and you say its 24", then its 18". Maybe. Lighten up. Who cares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyfishy Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Hate to over exaggerate on the size of this one, unfortunately I forgot my tape measure. I believe it was 15 inches. Ha ha ha. I lost three decent browns in the middle of the creek, oh well had a great day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slanter Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I haven't caught many big bulls, but most of the ones I have caught have put up absolutely no fight. Basically rolled over and got dragged in like a log. Made me wonder if they've been caught so many times before that they know the routine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyfishy Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 The lower Bow brake off , ten feet off the rod tip setting up for a recast, pulled up and just before my minnow caddis emerged pulled out of the river Snap!!! it was over, and that was 4x 7 lb0r 3.3kg tippet fluorflex stuff. I'll never get that moment back! The rule was I guess that cast was'nt fished through. Again no pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntsougri Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I also have a story that is quite unique. Caught a Bull Trout in an eastern slopes river on a Stimulator and it had a Cutthroat in it's mouth already with only the tail sticking out. He must of wanted some dessert with his meal! He didn't fight much like a typical Bull. Probably hard to fight when your loaded with a Cutty. He measured approximately 22 to 23 inches long. My quick measuring technique is to use hand spans to measure a fish in the net. One hand span for me is 9 inches from the tip of my thumb to the tip of my pinky finger. If the Bull is two and 1/2 hand spans long then he is approximately 22 to 23 inches in length (9+9+4.5 inches). Got to get me a net with inches marked inside it. Picture of the Bull with Cutty in his mouth below: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParsonsBruce Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 My story: fishing for walleye at Sylvan the other weekend with my ultra lite spinning rig when I tied into a monster pike in 25' of water. What a fight on this skinny little rod with the reel's drag screaming and my kayak spinning. So this weekend I'm out again and I find my reel's drag no longer works 😂. But I have my fly rod strapped to the side of the kayak so I can fish for white fish. Put on a size 12 bead head and an indicator and flip it out behind the kayak in 10' of water. Go to light up a cigar and notice the indicator isn't in sight. Set the hook and my 6wt buckels over and the reel comes the life. Ten seconds of adrenilan rush then nothing. I was left with a 4X tippit half it's normally length. Lite that cigar and reflected on what just happened and what could have been. No picture.
