Wow! Big congrats!!! That's a heck of a catch. Are you thinking of doing a mount or sending it to auction?

He's got quite a coat. He only weighs 11 pounds. I would've guessed 13lbs when I pulled him from the snare

Default 13 Pound Fisher

This is what a 13 pounder looks like! Caught him a couple of weeks ago. That's a belisle 160 his head is in for comparison. Verified his weight on both my digital scale at home and another trapper's scale at his place. Exactly 13.0 lbs! I find guessing their weight deceiving based on visual size. You need to weigh them to get an accurate measurement of their size. Right now he's in the freezer waiting to go to the taxidermist!

Uke do you know the condition of the Athabasca river yet! With these warmer weather, I'm concerned about the ice conditions to cross to our line

that is heavy. Couldn't believe they got that big till now. My first fisher dwarfed my martens and was around 6 pounds? 11 pounds was an eye opener and 13!? crazy.

does yours have the white patch on the chest? My first one did not.
