oops!

Post by hunting170 » August 22nd, 2007, 10:10 pm

A friend of mine showed me an article in Outdoor Life the other day, and it told of a guy that caught, and released a probable world record walleye. He threw it back because his scales read 11.something pounds. Only it wasn`t pounds. His scales were actually set on kilograms. Image Image
One day, long, long ago, there lived a woman who did not whine, nag, or bitch.
But it was a long time ago, and it was just that one day.

I saw that. 11.5lbs, and 25.3lbs are easily confused though. Image

The story would have been better if he had taken it home and ate it, only to find out later that it was a record.

Pretty much the same thing that happened with the WR largemouth bass, except they knew they were eating the world record.

I bet he got the some $'s and endorsements too. Which is easier to get with a world record deer rack, than a plate of world record fish bones. Image

Im thinking the world record largemouth would be considerably more than a whitetail deer in the long run.

Yup... gotta talk chit on a sport you know nothing about. Unlike hunting, fishing is a more social pass time. Of course you wouldn't enjoy it... you're an azzhole. You enjoy sitting alone in a tree strokin' your tiny johnson... I mean PSE.
Anything you can do, I can do better.
