dougs avatar fish

just have a look at dougs fish in his picture does anybody else thinks this looks 30lb or is it me

nah its just you. mind you it does look pretty big

can you put a bigger picture up doug in some way i bet hurricane can do it for you if you send him the pic

The trouble is Stubbo, i had to photograph the photo as i havnt got a pic on the computer anymore. So not sure if i can Blow it up or not. I,m gonna have a look and see what i can do.

looks much bigger than my pb of 25.5 so i would defo say its a 30+

Hope this is a bit better to see.

Do you think its bigger than the stated ( by my mate ) 24 1/2lb ??? Meant to say, i,m 5 ft 6 so you can scale the pic better.

Dont take this the wrong way but how big are you Doug? I have this problem where i am 6'7" so even big fish look small next to me lol

I,m 5FT 6 mate and was kneeling down as you can see.

i'd say it was a 30...i mean look at the size of the head/jaw in comparison to your hands...and its so chunky!

its big mate

I would not even worry about it,Its a very good fish and you had the pleasure of catching it and a photo as a reminder.Does the wieght realy matter, the recorded wieght was less than 12kg...that makes it sound small but it wasn"t.

yes did notice that look at the comparison fish its head and jaw profile in my fish .....no contest

Blimey Stubbo, i see what you mean.

Ive just checked my Avon scales and the 24 1/2lb bit is in the reddish zone but if you go another revolution its still in the reddish zone but thas indicating 32 1/2lb !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dont know what to think really.

Fantastic fish though.

im 5.6 mate and that fish is 100% a thirty the fish in my pic is 19 1/2lb

WHOOPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!

I reckon you are all right you know. Ive just been looking at Stubbo's 25lb er with my missus and she says mines s Huge compared with that fish ( no disrespect meant Stubbo, thats a good fish ).

just a shame will never know its true weight for sure

Very true MBA. Gonna have a word with my mate and see what he thinks.

def a 30 mate , that head says it all, bleeding huge

well congratulations on your new PB

Thanks lads, i,m a bit up in the air with it tonight. Very excited. Just two hrs ago my PB WAS 24 1/2LB, now it looks more like a THIRTY + !!

Doug, iv'e fished down that way for many year's, and belive me, that's a thirty, iv'e seen big pike down that way, and from what i see with you, i hold that fish in the same. Well done mate. chwarae teg.
