Do you recognize this southern AB fish?

And it's not a Cuttbow because it has some orange on it.

Good camera angle on a big fish

Holy cow that thing is massive!!

[Komp]

Oh my lord....

[bcubed]

that mullet though

[monger]

Must be a Palmer fish

The long arm showboat. Getting real tired of "creative" shots on wide angle lenses making fish looking artificially large.

Not saying that's not a big fish. But it looks like it's a taimen.

Ok monger i expect a full report the next day that you don`t go fishing. Man that thing is huge,how long was it . You can tell by his fingers that fish is big no camera tricks there

[monger]

I wasn't there. Looking for info on the picture. Pretty sure it is pay to play fish

[Swede]

Ya I thought the same the instant i seen the picture, Palmer fish.

[monger]

Valid point Bron. Good "style" points though

I'm gonna have to trade in my cheap little point and shoot camera

I know that fish....I think we made acquaintances about a month ago.

[bowbonehead]

Yes that's from the upper pond judging from the background, haven't been down since 2 years ago myself

It is photoshopped. Based on the guys hands in relation to the fish, it is stupid big. I'd guess at least 3-4 times larger than the Palmer pic Clive linked to. And that is probably a double digit Palmer fish. We just don't grow them like that here. Also, I'm not sure a fish that age would have any slashing still.

A Palmer fish forsure I have seen the actual photo from a guy I work with!!
