Wrong !!! look at the outstreched arms ,, I usually would use his mellon as a guage, but not here . I'd say his fist is about 5" across,,. Why don't you insult him more and find out ...:laughs:

Thirty four inches long and 14# 8 fins and 6 and one half stripes. The fish was caught on a blue/white 2oz swimmer at the end of the drop, you where casting into the wind where a small rip forms in such and such a place.

31" :D

31" my vote

31" :angel:

I voted 32".

31:wiggle:

You can make a chub look like a 50 pounder if you hold it close enough to the camera.
29"

Here is a bass, how long do you think it was?

rolling rock fish 33

28.. :cputin:

28 is my guess.....do I win a trip on the Jenna Rose????:jester:

I say beetween 27 & 29, but im going with 29"

27 to 28 inches

35

Guess was 29" - I was figuring 4" for the distance across your 4 fingers and then went from there.

I think 37". Tip of nose to end of outstreched arm.

Can I guess again, Bruce?:laughs: This is gonna be good....

spent my whole day checking this post to see how long that fish is . suspense is killing me .:uhoh:

Let me end ur plight...
Ur several inches off.

bigger or smaller .. several .. no way .. whats Slip ? Houdini..

I'm thinking 33"

32????????

This is great....
The suspense is killin me.
And i know what it is.
If he don't tell soon i'm gonna blab it.

Just for the record, I'm changing my guess, my new "offical" guess is 27'' and three qaurters, I was going to say 27 3/4" but since it wasn't one of the choices I went with 34"

If he don't tell soon i'm gonna blab it.

no you won't

go fish instead and catch a fish to get to number 5 so you can go to that brewery and get a trophy:cheers:
bring 5 oz this weekend, you'll need them and 6's also
it moved better tonight

It's amazing the variety of answers for a picture of a fish.
If you saw the fish in person, I wonder how the poll would go also.
Just goes to show you you can't tell by a picture how big fish are by the picture alone.

I'll tell tomorrow.

Not worryin bout that what ever happens happens Plus I have a wedding to go to that day.

OK now to the poll.
Maybe my tip was not explained well enough.
If Slips gourd is the size of one of them huge pumpkins u see at the Fair.
It might make a fish in a foto appear smaller rigtht....

:lasso: 29

The Equation: Width of Slip`s shoulders - distance from body factor + 6 inches = 31"

so it could be anywhere from 25 to 33 inches :o

Slip, congrats on your 50... ;)
I voted for 30 inches...:huh:
nice dinner fish :drool:

watch it be 25" :shocked:

its all about how close it is to the camera and the length it is held away from the body .

36 ?

of course i measured a hat first....blew up the picture and re measured
it with a computer always on top ruler....
but only came up with
25.5
of course i didn't account for that huge brain in that tremendous noggin underneath it...
better make it 26 inches.:kewl:

29

29

OK everyone, I'll end the suspense.
Only 4 people got it correct so far. Professor Moriarty you were the second vote to get it correct.
35 inches was how big it was.
Very deceiving, when I saw the pic I thought I made a mistake so I measured the fish again. It wasn't held out away from me very far at all. Danny took the picture from the front of my little boat. Maybe that has something to do with why P.Moriarty got it right since he knows my boat and me.
Anyway , that was fun.

next time we'll do the weight of another fish sometime.

:hee:

Never would have guessed 35, in fact, I didn't :hee: I guessed much smaller as it looked decieving, thinking the arms were stretched out. :fishslap:

Dam I knew it!! But the Professor took my pick :crying:

i had guessed 34". After reading all of the other guesses i was starting to doubt myself.

I keep telling you I have an eye for detail. Yeah right I took a shot in the dark, no science involved. P.

Bruce got chubby fingers :rotf2:

thats the tinyest 35 inches ive seen all year :)

I voted 32". Here ya go. I voted 32 too. looks are decieving sometimes in a pic.

I gave ya's all plenty o tips.
The cromagnon man enlarged gourd should have been the
dead givaway.
When I first saw the pic it looked like a #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& 30#er.
:D

I won I won...what did i win??

Geez if Rav couldn't figga it out with the scientific method, how wuz i supposed to. :huh:

Hey, I was a 35" vote too :D

Since this one was so good, how long is this fish?

if you have trouble, I will give a hint.

33" around 22 # ?

Bruce is pretty tall. I'll say 39".

37 1/8"

37 1/8"

:rotf2: Damn I forgot the 1/8"..

42" 28 lbs.

looks just about keeper 28 1/2 inches not much bigger

OK, hint: =

so did you read through the thread?

my hint is, that fish in the photo above immediately bottomed out a 30 lb boga. Ask Throwing Timber, he will confirm.

23 inches... look at his hand size compare to mouth

About yay big.

My hands are 2' apart.

47

was the tape used to measure the second fish the same one that was used to measure the first fish? it appears to have been missing at least 8" from one end ..need to factor that in :)

Lol

i'd say 44"

Let's see a bottomed out #30 boga would be about 12 inches,
not that I've ever seen one bottomed out, :D so I'm saying 37 and 1/2.

Nice fish !!

around 29"

44" 36 pounds

OK guys, it looks like Professor Moriarty gets it again. I recall this fish going 45-1/2" long, Throwing Timber put it at about 42 pounds, I say 40. It took me about 13 minutes to land it, once Vic grabbed it I saw it was almost 4 feet long I knew why it took so long to get the fish in. Old Man took the photo so don't yell at me about the poor angle, I didn't even know he was shooting it. I think Tony Orlando knows how small fish look when I hold them, if he was holding it, it would appear to be a fifty ;) Anyone who doesn't believe how long it is, well, tough. It's deceiving isn't it? I will try to do one by pounds someday. thanks for playing again.

I think by some of the responses, some may not have read the whole thread before guessing.

I'll check on that and get back to ya :)

22" on the money!
