Stu;
Saw in the Outdoor news of a 54″ ski caught in the metro from a guy from Faribault. Could this be the same story? That guy said he released the fish. Sure hope so.
Beleive it or not, there is (or maybe was ) a mid-50s fish weighing mid 40s in French. Had her follow 4 times to the boat, but she wouldn’t take. To this day, that is still the biggest fish I’ve ever spotted in the water. I’ve had as long, but not as fat The girth on that girl was not normal. She was incredibly fat and I raised her on opener of last year. With that said, generally, they tend to be a bit thinner in the early part of the year. I would only have to assume that she would have pushed 50 pounds by fall……..I would bet money that she ate 3 to 5 pound bass for a living…….
People got to get a clue that these fish have to be released. They are just to fragile to the system to be keeping……..
