Dat ain't nuttin Bill. Look at this giant... my reverse stiff arm makes this 50" pike look like a 6 to 8" pike. 😊 Cuz I got skillz like that.. oh yeah it's 11 Mile
This fish was caught by a friend. He is CEO and owner of Pyramid fly co it’s a legit 21.5 pounds. That’s a very nice fish for sure. However I’m struggling with 18 pounds.
I'm going with the stated 18# weight. I think we'd all agree that a fat 30" rainbow, which this certainly is, is going to go 15#, maybe more. If you look at the angler's right hand, showing only 3 fingers, his 4th would be about where the front of the pectoral fin is. A grown man's hand is about 4" across, whether he's holding it Benny-style or against his chest, doesn't matter. So little finger to fish's mouth about 10". Double that and you're still not back to the anal fin, and the fish is curving away from the camera. That fish is pushing 30" easily, IMO, and a good 8+" deep. And, Hey, this guy may be a CEO too.
Ya. Dudes right hand shows how big around it is. No tricky camera or stiffy required. I posted a few of my extra large fish over the years. Everybody jumps ya for keeping it or downplays the weight.. Well not everybody.....I had em weighed by a legit source and know whats what.. Congrats to dude! Actually he didn't even post the pic. Somebody got it from the Marinas's site and it doesn't come thru as clearly.
We caught a cutt in Pyramid this year at 36 inches and girth of 21 inches and it was measured on a scale at 19 pounds. That fish is no more than 12 pounds. Reminds me of everyone posting on Pyramid sites fish of 20 pounds that aren’t even 15.
