Only a 29" Trout

Post by jsuber »

This fello says this is a 29" Trout. He must be 3 feet tall because it looks a lot bigger to me.

This is Jim Mickey and he caught in Baffin Bay in Texas.

Baffin Bay is supposed to have some monsters. That's a nice one.

Any idea what he caught it on?

Man has some unusual physical features. Distance from elbow to wrist is 30"

Well when someone post a picture and folks call BS on a picture that has absolutely no value for anyone other than just a sight to behold, can you wonder why OJ got set free the first time. It doens't matter who post it, and I've seen it with world record fish. Folks will just declare that its not real. I don't know why, it just happens. And I was not with this fellow when he caught it, but I know it looks a lot bigger than the 29" trout I caught, but he may be a smaller fellow than me. Not matter, thats a fine trout and I don't think its a 25" with that gut, so how big is it for the doubters, and what was done to fool the rest of us?

Here are some more slabs to mull over then.

Whenever you stick a fish into the camera (aka full arm press) it will look bigger....looks legit to me. Nice fish - Baffin bay is known for its 28" plus fish goto wadefishing.net and look at the trophy room
