HOLY MACKEREL, I MEAN TOGUE!!!!! That sure is a fish of a lifetime

Congrats Bill and welcome to the shack!! Your dog is priceless

Wow, simply wow. Make sure you don't leave us hanging for details Bill, we all thrive on that sort of thing

1/2 pound from the state record of 50 years!!!

Surely you must have had a few extra sinkers in your packetbasket!

Atleast you gave Mr. Grindle a good scare, RIP. Congrats again. I'm sure someone at Indian Hill must be able to reccommend a good taxi. or even some of the local sporting camp owners. Get ready to part with a $1,000 bill

8) Fantastic job.

Man, makes me want to go fishing. What a monster! Maybe next time I have a small 18 inch togue on, Ill just let him run with it, as that is what fish like that probably feed on-lol. Congrats!

Nice fish Bill.

Like everyone else is saying....WOW.

Great to see that fish like that DO exist. You must have thought you were caught on bottom when you set the hook. Glad you landed it.

fish of a lifetime right there. Congrats !!!

WOW! I'm surprised you could stand up for a photo after landing that beast! My hands and legs would still be shaking. Congratulations and welcome!

Amazing fish. Congratulations

nofishin · « **Reply #46 on:** Mar 11, 2009, 06:23 AM »

that is unreal. great job. too bad you werent in the derby over the weekend. i would do some research into a taxidermist who can mount the fish right. seeing as you have the fish you might want to do a real mount and not a gene behr replicate. he is pricey and only does carvings. I just had one mounted by Marc Godin. 225-5775 is his number on the internet. i would make sure you specify that you want a mouth cap done as well. sometimes they don't put the time into making the mouth look authentic. he did an awesome job on the salmon my dad caught and his prices are pretty good

TommyT · « **Reply #51 on:** Mar 11, 2009, 07:06 AM »

Great Fish! That hog certainly has no trouble finding food in Moosehead.

pegasus · « **Reply #52 on:** Mar 11, 2009, 07:14 AM »

What a way to make an first post on the Shanty. Welcome and can I come up to fish with you?

peasy207 · « **Reply #53 on:** Mar 11, 2009, 07:15 AM »

congrats!!! i would think about Gene Bahr doing it...ive seen two large togue by him... my buddys 20 lber and another 27 lber from sebago... they may cost a lot more but they will never crack...last a lifetime, and to me that would be worth the extra!

kdcon · « **Reply #54 on:** Mar 11, 2009, 07:15 AM »

Congrats Indeed !

That bad boy must be the one thats been sucking all those juicey smelts off Team Maine's hooks. I'd say he had it down pat. Story story story.....

Good thing it was a local and not some out of state guy up there fishing with his buddies.

I have to say I'm a little disturbed by your comment about a Out of state guy.What is the difference? we are all Fishermen,no matter where you live.They come and spend a week and there money.Probably more than you would.If you ask any Business men up there they would love to see and Out of stater catch a big fish and go back and brag to there friends and hopfully they send more fishermen.Gods knows they need the Business up there.We should embrace anyone who loves the outdoors as much as we do,no matter where there from...

FYI.And I am from MAINE born and Bread..

And Bill great fish!!! once in a lifetime...congrats

That thing is just too big to believe!

You weren't using any type of performance enhancing drugs from Arod's cousin were you?
