What size pic do u use under the add image to post feature? I’ve tried avatar size n thumbnail

I’ve always just used the default of “do not resize my image” and it will put up a thumbnail which you can click to see full pic

I use IMGUR. Tried the site function and didn't like it. My pics always came through too small.

Thanks for the pics, Nick. A monster! I bet you're glad that the days of 6" holes are behind you.

That's a pig !!

The problem with you posting pics could be there starting size . Very big pics . This one was shrunk down to 25% of the original and it's still large .

thanks Jim. Yes a 6” hole would have made things difficult haha.

I feel bad for those local eagles.

One to remember Nick. You put your time in and it pays dividends.

Nice to see it go back, I wonder how big it will be when another angler gets the thrill of catching it.

Too bad more don't practice release, on all those warm water bodies that will never have game fish.

Beauty of a fish, nice job!
As far as pics go, maybe the site was having issues
Your pictures came out fine

Seamonkey84 · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 24, 2018, 12:16 PM »

Now that I can see the pics, that was a beast! I have a 7” auger, makes me wonder if landing fish like that would be likely lol.

I’ve never had a problem landing big fish thru an 8” hole. Not sure how a 7” hole would be. 10” would be ideal.

I hear ya, Bob. I release all the pike I catch. Love seeing those giants swim away.

Nice pike, I caught my first 40 inch fish this year and released that as well. Only ever keep the small ones if I do
