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!!!"

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

Anyone know where he's weighing his fish? After seeing this and the picture of his 55# I know I've been going to the wrong scale!

45" to 46" maximum I'd say, and nowhere near 55 pounds, not even 40 if you ask me, gut ain't big enough or too hard to tell from picture.

how does anyone hold a 55 pound anything out that far from their body for a picture?

is this the point you are making?
who is that? I know it's not you

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.

What are you trying to say? Obviously there is no way that fish is 55lb...

Are you just trying to rile people up? Troll? Bored?

What's the deal??
