Default Caught a really big fish a couple days ago.

Thought I would share the pic. This is a great looking fish and we ate it last night. It tasted better than I thought it would. Not muddy at all.

No I didn't get any info. I guessed around 8 pounds but my buddy figured 10 plus but I have no idea. Fought like crazy and spooled the line real well. It was a real nice fish to catch in the North Saskatchewan River.....

very nice. Judging by the thickness I wouldn't be surprised if it topped out closer to 10 lbs.

that's almost as big as your body
has to to be 30 or 40 lbs..


na by the size your your hands closer to the 1o lbs mentioned.
fished van isl lots of yrs and me and my buddy would guess on weight of fish before weighing from 6 to 40 lbs got to be pretty accurate with no reference tough guess.
still nice fish bud

Congrats on a very nice Rainbow Nube. Pity you didn't get some stats. Not many big ones like that out there.

Nice fish, but it's the ugliest walleye I ever saw.
