I'm a little higher than a lot of you guys, I think it is in the low 40# range. But thats still 20# plus short of the weight Cowhunter is quoting.
Real hard to imagine how it is 60# plus, but pictures can sometimes play tricks. I'd give the guy the benefit of the doubt unless you know they are the cheatin' kind.

The art of stuffing seems to be alive and well. When you learn from the best it becomes second nature.

Whether its a legit fish(or not) I'm not sure, but there will surely be more pics taken and an official weight registered if its legit...that's why I always say, "Show me the slips."
Cowhunter, you should have entitled the thread, "Another one for Greg Myerson!!!"  |

Hard to tell but I'd her 35-40lbs. Looks too skinny to be that big.

I'm not so sure it's not a big fish. Let's say the guy is 6 feet tall and has a forearm length from wrist to elbow of 12-13". Given the dimensions in the 2D photo from nose to tail that's a 52-56" fish depending on foreshortening. That picture is deceptive, the dimension from his wrist to the fish's nose is a lot bigger than you'd think.
The fact that it's held out from the fisherman, and somebody had to support his extended arm also indicate a high weight.

Meh... caught from a boat, probably with a piece of chunk. Fish doesn't count in my book.

For sure, if I were so accomplished and lucky to have had a season like this fisherman is having, and I was in a tournament to win, you all would see quality pics of each big girl over 50. Maybe he's not as vain as me. Art |

No, Love the sarcasm! We did hear team captain of TS was s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& up and working hard to recruit him for the 2011 cup out of the Clinton / westbrook area, maybe sooner as there may be a 70 plus pound fish coming soon!!!! You just stack the guys fish and he won the striper cup on his own!!! If you fish heavy duty commercial grade gloves at night eelin the summer months ur chances will improve!!! BUUUUTTTT Its gonna be hard for all current teams to compete against a new team I hear for 2011 though, one of my members is breaking off and I will give you a hint... Team RB...

If there's a full blown mutiny next year on the SS Cowhunter you're welcome to join us on Team S-B for the shore division. 
Did I hear you once swam the canapitsit channel? If this is true I have a new found admiration for you...even if you're a boat guy from Jersey. |

I see...
this isn't a thread of thinly veiled accusations and jealousy, it is a photography lesson.

I would bet that On The Water is following this thread
but I don't bet.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Off topic, but these teams of "super sharpies" will put and end to this contest. The above average fisherman or team do not stand a chance. Add that to a sour economy, concerns on the bass population, and the BS, I think people won't bother.

I've met two people who have both won small tournaments by "picking up" their fish from someone else that was fishing that day. Heard second-hand stories about many more people doing the same.
It's a shame because now stories like this are a immediately questioned by me. He could be the luckiest guy in the world, the best fisherman in the world or a cheat.
If it looks too good to be true, it probably is. |

now we're on to something here!
Do you think some of these guys hearts are going to be broken if they don't win angler of the year? Its just business as usual. I bet the majority don't even know theres prizes for monthly winnings! They just want the $$$$$$$ and truck (if there is even a truck to win this year). |

I'd be really carefull about calling people cheaters. Pictures are useless to determine size unless the csale beams or guage are shown. If the fish is held out it looks big but if the head is closer to the camera than the tail it can look really small. I have seen pictures of cars with the engine off rolling up hill based on the pictures.
You can argue about what size it looks to you but don't call people cheats unless you can prove it. It sounds to me like people not only doubt the fisherman but doubt the integrity of the weigh station , etc. To me its serious business to call a guy a cheat.

What motivates people to make a fishing contest into serious business?
Is it something worth supporting and admiring?

This thread is some what comical,
And I find it really hard to believe someone could catch 3 60 pound class fish in one month
I'm not saying he's cheating I just don't believe it
