maybe instead of 46...it's 36?
I have a large hand and my index finger is only .75 inches across . I took the pic and cut and paisted his index finger over the length of the fish . I count 43 fingers long 43x.75= 32.25 inches . That guy would have to have fingers bigger then my thumbs for it to be 46 inches . Are you sure on the measurement ? those traps are not real big . even at 36 inches it would be over 30lbs with a 29 inch girth .(Image removed from quote.)
Keepah; Your math and mine are in agreement, that fish is around 36"!
O.K. boyz - let me give this one more shot all finger measurements aside and then I'm done. Is there anybody that thinks that Joe would be willing to stake his reputation and credibility on the measurement of the fish, especially since by his own admission, he wasn't even there if he wasn't 100% sure of said measurement? Think about it and think about what you are essentially all suggesting........
I just thought of a way to estimate the size of a fish with a photo edit . It is no way intended to be a shot and anyones credibility or reputation . If its going to start something I'll just take it down . Its also not meant to take anything away from that great fish . Bigger then anything must of us have caught for sure .
Here's the 45" Northern in my signature photo that wasn't released.It went 45" exactly and I know the girth measurement exactly.Take a guess at it's weight? (Image removed from quote.)
Joe originally posted it a week or two ago. All I'm saying is I trust these guys measuring abilities enough for them to know what the length of that particular trap is with the flag up plus a dollar bill compared against a tape measure. People may dispute 40# if you want, but there is NO disputing 20# at 46" I promise you. Somewhere in between is the answer.
This wouldn't even be a debate if the fella in the picture was holding it three feet in front of him, like most of the pictures you see posted.
where does a guy like that get his gloves ?
again......the pike in the thread from pikehater titled "pikehater went pikefishing" is a BIGGER FISH then the one in this picture. I know all about holding fish closer to the camera and I agree that picture most likely does that fish no justice. but please take a look at that other pike out of the andro. If someone could repost that picture I think we could all get a better perspective.
Or how about these two. One is 19 1/2# and one is 23 1/2#. Which one is which and no breast jokes please Guys, pics can look any number of ways. Don't know why such the difficulty in accepting their word on the issue. (Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)
Did you get that first one "noodling" or what?You're only supposed to do that with catfish.You're scaring me with all these pike pics you keep pulling out of your butt.
Can't help it Boot - those d**n things just won't leave me alone!
