Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted July 29, 2013 Super User Posted July 29, 2013 Ol Mr. Putin caught him self a prime in a remote Siberian lake, I believe is where it was. Official reports state the pike weighs 44lbs. So what you Yankees think? Is this a 44lb pike? Quote
Super User J Francho Posted July 29, 2013 Super User Posted July 29, 2013 44 lbs? Looks less than 30. Awesome fish, nonetheless. Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted July 29, 2013 Super User Posted July 29, 2013 Pic on the left is the one I saw attached to the story. No it is not 44lbs. Probably not 30lb like J mentioned. This is a 32lb pike. 2 Quote
Super User deaknh03 Posted July 29, 2013 Super User Posted July 29, 2013 He has been known to stage things to look macho. He most likely didn't even catch it, regardless of weight. Quote

Probably not 30lb like J mentioned. This is a 32lb pike. Dang that's a big old fish. Sooner or later I'm gonna get up to Michigan to go fishing. I got family that lives on Houton(sp) lake. They tell me they can put me on some pike and musky up there. Quote
tipptruck1 Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 That's no were near 44lbs. A pike that size in my neck of the woods. Is about 20-25lbs. If your lucky you will get a sow that hits 30lbs. Here is a link to some big pike. With pictures so you have a idea. On how big a 40lb plus has to be. http://www.luckylures.nl/esox_lucius_record.php Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted July 29, 2013 Super User Posted July 29, 2013 Even after consuming the amount of vodka that was downed during that trip you still couldn't convince me that fish is 44lbs. Quote
Super User MarkH024 Posted July 29, 2013 Super User Posted July 29, 2013 Even after consuming the amount of vodka that was downed during that trip you still couldn't convince me that fish is 44lbs. This. No way it's even over 30lbs unless there is lead shoved in its gullet. Quote
Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted July 29, 2013 Author Super User Posted July 29, 2013 Last I thing I read stated that his Defense Chief, who was there with him, said it weighed between 26 and 33lbs. Class spokesman is the one that said it weighed 44lbs. Also. Is it just me or does it look like Putin is wearing a Sitka jacket? Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted July 29, 2013 Super User Posted July 29, 2013 I saw this on CNN this morning. I suspected it was less than 44 lbs. You guys just confirmed that for me. Quote
Mr_Scrogg Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 That might be 44 RUSSIAN pounds. Lol, not 44 US lbs. Nice fish, Putin. 1 Quote
craww Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Anyone else remember the staged "shirtless horseback riding" photos that were released of him? lol Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 30, 2013 Global Moderator Posted July 30, 2013 It probably weighs about half that. Unless it's living on a diet of rocks and sinkers it's not even close to 44lbs. Quote
Super User Tuckahoe Joe Posted July 30, 2013 Super User Posted July 30, 2013 That might be 44 RUSSIAN pounds. Lol, not 44 US lbs. Nice fish, Putin. Beat me to it! Nice fish regardless. Quote
