Guideline/IA’s Biggest Fish Contest!

[Zach Matthews]

Michael –

What kind of boat did you build?

[Mark Schafer]

Michael,
Like Zach I would love to see some pictures of that boat. I have cleaned out “my” side of the garage in preparation for a summer boat building project my thought was to hone my skills on a pirough (with the help of the kids)

[andrew_bell]

OK Zach, here it is then …….
9 lbs of New Caledonia Bonefish
caught at Northern Grande Terre 8th May 2008

[Simon Chu]

Arble are you back in West Island already!?
Nice feesh!!!

[Zach Matthews]

Hey guys –

I moved the discussion on wooden boat building to its own [link=http://www.itinerantangler.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1210559038]thread[/link].

Thanks,
Zach

[Michael Exl]

Here is my entry, a 34lb. carp taken on May 12th.

Wish I had a bigger carp though, there are some in the area that I am fishing that are pushing 60lbs 😮

Dang dude, that’s a pig.

Dang……

[andrew brown]

Hey Guys,

I’m new around these parts (ducks for cover), but I figured I’d toss my hat in the water.

[Zach Matthews]

Only one week left!

[Simon Chu]

wow that carp is massive.
bet it pulls!!

[Bob Riggins]

Moved to main forum.

[Zach Matthews]

I love it.

[leonard keeney]

Ok guys…

No measurement taking…
This fish was hooked on the outside of the jaw ( it was not hooked inside the mouth).

Night fishing Lake Taneycomo with a 7wt using 8lb Maxima.

(this has to be the only fish I have ever had to put on a reel..LOL)

Being filter feeders.. What I think happened was the line drifted into its mouth causes the fish to twitch.. The fight lasted about 10-15 minutes..
I had a few people tell me its 40+ and some say 50+Lbs…
I dont know..

[Zach Matthews]

Holy. Crap.  Good job Leonard!  Did you keep him to eat?  Those things taste just like swordfish, I swear.

[leonard keeney]

Nope…

it was a C&R…

You would believe how many people said I should have kept it.. But now someone else can have fun too..

Caught 5/12/08.
this was the first night Taneycomo had shut the water after the flood

[Zach Matthews]

Well, paddlefish are amazingly good to eat, but it can take a while to get through a 40-50# fish (I agree on that size, btw – I’ve seen them from 60-80lbs).

[Zach Matthews]

When was it caught, Leonard?

[Anonymous]

I guess it actually requires one to go fishing to get into this contest…like in Seinfield…”I’m Out!”

[anonymous]

I got this one last week while dredging stoneflies on the bottom along a current seam against a big eddy.
28″ long and just a touch over 10lbs on the Boga. Not sure what kind of carp it is……other than a stonefly eaten carp.
