YaHoo Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 i see these guys here with their first bass being 9 pounds well i have caught 66 bass this year. (nothing compared to Steve P and George Welcome) but, it does make all the frozen boys up north mad:) caught her in 15 feet of water in the st johns river on a japanese lure that looks like a tiger Quote
YaHoo Posted February 29, 2008 Author Posted February 29, 2008 oh she went 6.3 water temp-warm:) thats a 26 inch golden rule in front of her Quote
MattStrykul Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 Hahaha wow I'm slow today. Looking at that picture I thought it was MOUNTED. I was just thinking to myself..."Wow this guy lives in FL and mounted a 6.3 lb fish?? Don't get me wrong, that fish is HUGE and beautiful I'm just sayin. AWESOME FISH! Quote
Perfect Hook Set Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 ***** Its a fact that you guys have better fishing weather year round. I don't ice fish any more and even if I did the weather in CT has made it hard for any one to fish. Though I understand you guys fre!!ing have open water and are catching nice size bass heck bass in general and most of us are not... Nice fish Look out, there are some STARVING Northern Bass anglers Quote
YaHoo Posted March 1, 2008 Author Posted March 1, 2008 the fish does look mounted its on the carpet and its like flexing in that mounted bass stance its laying on the golden ruler. Quote

I was just thinking to myself..."Wow this guy lives in FL and mounted a 6.3 lb fish?? Don't get me wrong, that fish is HUGE and beautiful I'm just sayin. AWESOME FISH! That's what I thought at first too. Nice Fish! 8-) Quote
bassdocktor Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 That's a nice chunky looking fish. Congrats. Quote
Super User Jimzee Posted March 1, 2008 Super User Posted March 1, 2008 oh she went 6.3 water temp-warm:) thats a 26 inch golden rule in front of her That's kind of funny because when I zoom in on the pic, the ruler says 15" unless I'm going blind. Nice fish though. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted March 1, 2008 Super User Posted March 1, 2008 oh she went 6.3 water temp-warm:) thats a 26 inch golden rule in front of her I've never heard of a 15" fish weighing 6.3 lbs. Looks like 14" and 15" to me. And going by this photo from Gator Grip's website: The 25" Golden Rule is graduated in 1/4" increments. The Golden Rule pictured is graduated in 1" increments. http://www.gatorgrip.com/golden-rule-measuring-boards2.html It's a nice little toad, but there's no way it is 24" and no way it's 6.3 lbs.

YaHoo Posted March 1, 2008 Author Posted March 1, 2008 well i would like to thank all of you for shooting my dreams down. just to satisfy you i will take a picture of this golden ruler. its 25 inches long so maybe the fish was 21 inches or what not. i could have closed her mouth and stretched her out some:) as for 6.3 thank rapala for their high quality scale. thanks again everyone for shooting me down. Quote
Bob Kavanaugh Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 Well, using the inch increments on the ruler to draw a rough guess of how long the ruler is, I come up with exactly 25 inches. Now what? Nice fish is what! Quote
HesterIsGod Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 oh she went 6.3 water temp-warm:) thats a 26 inch golden rule in front of her I've never heard of a 15" fish weighing 6.3 lbs.

Wow, more investigation there than a csi episode. Whats next, forensic shots. Just kidding, I do agree it appears to be a 15 inch ruler. Quote
YaHoo Posted March 1, 2008 Author Posted March 1, 2008 well this for everyone. making me stay up late taking pics of the ruler hahahaha well the green tape measure is a 15 inch fish. black/green part and this is a zoom in of the end of the ruler if this isnt good enough i dont care. if you think im still lying jump off a bridge:) good luck weekend warriors Quote
YaHoo Posted March 1, 2008 Author Posted March 1, 2008 i meant to say that yellow tape is 15 inches long. so nobody try and tell me i used the green/black tape to help it reach 15 inches. the ruler is 22.5 inches. Quote
Super User Jimzee Posted March 1, 2008 Super User Posted March 1, 2008 well this for everyone. making me stay up late taking pics of the ruler hahahaha well the green tape measure is a 15 inch fish. black/green part and this is a zoom in of the end of the ruler if this isnt good enough i dont care. if you think im still lying jump off a bridge:) good luck weekend warriors That's funny right there, I don't care who you are!!

Krzkev Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 You could have just held the fish, or put it next to a rod or something, who really cares fishermen are supposed to exagerate a little, Right? Quote
Super User burleytog Posted March 1, 2008 Super User Posted March 1, 2008 Well I apologize and retract my previous statements. Quote
YaHoo Posted March 1, 2008 Author Posted March 1, 2008 you are correct. i apologize for saying it was 26. i thought it was. why would they make a 22inch ruler? anyways 6.3 of 4.5 its my biggest bass this year and if i wasnt proud of it i wouldnt post a picture about it. Quote
ILfisherman Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 Burley, You def. need a job/life, buddy. How long did that little investigation take you, Sherlock? The guy caught a nice fish, he posted a picture for all to browse at...no need for verification of the measurements. NICE FISH OP! Quote
Super User T-rig Posted March 1, 2008 Super User Posted March 1, 2008 Nice fish no matter what! But someone help me out here please. :-X In europe we use centimeters and I'm a bit confused. The last number I can see on that ruler is a 15. 15 what? inches or what? Quote
flippin4it. Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 If I am going to sit front row to a ticking match, I'll need to put on some XPS rain gear................ Nice fish there, I hope to catch a 6 pounder soon. Don't feel bad that people try to shoot you down even with a picture. :-/ I don't carry a camera and I'm constantly getting someone trying to tell me I'm lying. Never to my face and there are 2 reasons why. If they are with me, I'll prove them wrong and 2nd. I serve a mean Knuckle sandwich.......... Quote
Super User Tin Posted March 1, 2008 Super User Posted March 1, 2008 Wow ILFisherman, take it easy. First off I'm the one who started this little mess. I knew something was up because I know there are no 26" Gator rulers so I looked into it. Then asked for someone's opinion. So I guess I'm the one with no life. : I apoligize for ever doubting your catch Yahoo. Mike Jr. Quote
Yakfish Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 Whatever...nice fish man. At least you're catching. Me? I'm shovelling snow! Quote
