Dace

[Zuludog]

My guess is 32 lbs? Hopefully you got a replica mount done and let that old gal go. So others can have a chance at a fish of a lifetime. Very, very nice fish. WELL DONE

[decker]

Congrats, 50 is the magic-unattainable number. You just did something few people will ever do. Im hopeing Im not one of them, my lifelong quest for 50 continues. Go get another, youve got hot hands!

I wouldn't want to swim in the water with that monster around! Great catch, and kudos for the C&R. You always get a replica mount too :rolleye2:

[stuartmcgrandle]

rofl!!!

[latenite]

that is one sweet fish, for it's size it must be fairly old, and it's lines are beautiful, not much for scars normally found on such big gaters! Congrats!

i hope that lucky angler can find a good taxidermist to create a replica......


i guess others didn't quite follow my comment above. agreed. he shouldn't have to look far.

[TyreeUM]

that's a once and a lifetime fish for a lot of people, if he kept it no big deal, if he is gonna get a replica - that is great too. Awesome fish, congrats.

That thing is a tank , Id submit that for Alberta Record of the year or catch of the year whatever the hell they call it . Thats a Pig forsure . Well done .

It is my understanding that it was caught in the NWT. So I guess it won't qualify for Alberta.

My buddy caught this one the other day.

How long do you think she is?

[Zuludog]

That's a nice fish too. Holding it like that with it away from your body makes it look bigger than it is. I think 45 or 46 and 27lbs? Am I close? BTW where was that fish taken?

[Rockymtnx]

39"

[BBJTKLE&FISHINGADVENTURES]

46 3/8

Uhhhh Ok Dan didnt know that .

[Alberta_bassman]
