How did she land this monster?

[kilted1]

Ok, I'm a serious fisherman, the largest I've ever caught was about an 18 pound Stripper. How in the world did this little girl land this MONSTER fish? (193lb) !!!

The tiddler who caught a monster: Schoolgirl angler nets record catch that's twice her size and weighs 14stone

Obviously the fish was on land and it pulled her out of the water.

Like any good Dad her father helped her land this monster! :affraid:

What a great memory for both of them to have now.

Something about this story is a bit "fishy!" FTRPLT

 

[Justpipes]

That's a monster for sure!

Great, now I have to give up fishing! Sheesh! :scratch:

I fought a 35lb Carp for 15 minutes the other day and all I can say is HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!

That catfish would require a lot of hush puppies...

For those who don't know-- Wheatley is about 30 miles from Harrow on Lake Erie.
NO COMPUTER TRICK PHOTO HERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS ONTARIO!!!!!!!!!
FYI: This Sturgeon is Still alive , just worn out from the fight.
They turned him loose after the photo.

This Sturgeon was caught at TWO CREEKS CONSERVATION AREA,
Wheatley, ON (at Lake Erie) 11/19/2007

It weighed out at over 1,000 lbs and measured out at 11'1'. It was 56' around the girth;
took over 6 and a half hours, and 4 dozen beers, for the 4 guys taking turns at the reeling it in.

Any Sturgeon OVER five feet has to be released unharmed and cannot be removed from the water.
They are brood/breeding stock and probably older than most of us.

Obviously the little girl and her dad would have landed this one in half the time and without the beer :twisted:
(sorry I can't figure how to get this pic to load larger,)
