Wow! I can only imagine catching something that big on a rod/reel!
How long did it take you to reel it in?

That pic turned out fairly decent actually. I am impressed. Good to fish with you yet again Dustin. That fish gives me lots of hope for the winter out there - I know that lake pretty well and know that fish will be quite a bit heavier come winter.

Thats what I was thinking. Imagine that fish also is dwarfed int he pic by the fact that DAMFISHERMAN is 6 foot 7!. Thats atleast a 50 pound fish. Riverrat, I think you should have the scale recalibrated bro. Im no expert so I could be wrong. But that fish looks bigger than 37#

Wow what a fish.
I will be on the lake on Friday.

Re: GRAPEVINE HOG - 07/30/09 01:39 AM

Jackie - good luck out there. Call me if you want some other specifics. Bobby will be out there Friday also.

Re: GRAPEVINE HOG - 07/30/09 01:40 AM

Landon - I think you might be right but I am not too sure. Dustin and I both guessed the fish at that weight before we weighed it. I would think the lake record will fall this winter if not before then. Like I said before, I caught numberous 30s out there last winter and they only got bigger in the last year.

Re: GRAPEVINE HOG - 07/30/09 01:51 AM

Landon - also look at the head on that thing. The head is huge and the rest of the body is much skinnier. In the winter I think that fish would have pushed 50 with all the winter fat on it.

Re: GRAPEVINE HOG - 07/30/09 05:13 AM

That is still a huge fish for this time of year. I'm not knocking your equipment by the way. I'm just saying it LOOKS like a much bigger fish.
Posted By: riverrat1973

Re: GRAPEVINE HOG - 07/30/09 01:28 PM

I know you arent knocking it. You might want to use that scale one of these days when you get out with me again. We need to plan a time to go and make it happen. Maybe another Friday night sometime soon.
