Posting for a buddy of mine. Caught in Wabasha MN. on a sucker. No tape or scale in the boat but he’s guessing it was between 50-55 lbs. Congrats on a great fish!

What a pig! Congrates to your friend!
June 26, 2012 at 6:00 pm #1052228Its a whopper
June 26, 2012 at 6:01 pm #1078863That is a tanker!
June 26, 2012 at 6:02 pm #1078864I need to try this thing they call fishing for catfish…
Thats a monster! June 26, 2012 at 6:55 pm #1078878WOW! No doubt about that thing.
June 26, 2012 at 7:42 pm #1078893Most posts where the weight is a guess I have to cringe and think to myself, “You wish!”
Not this one. That is a 50lb+ fish without a doubt. I still wish you’d had a scale because I’d love to know the weight, but it’s a monster. Congrats!
June 26, 2012 at 7:44 pm #1078894Did you guys get the length of it?
June 26, 2012 at 8:11 pm #1078899Nice fish, how big of a sucker.

X2 AWESOME FLATHEAD
X3Its every bit of 50, but it would be interesting to know how much over 50 she was!
June 26, 2012 at 9:11 pm #1078931Thats a great big ole flathead.
June 26, 2012 at 10:52 pm #1078959nice fish! love seeing pictures like this
June 26, 2012 at 11:09 pm #1078962Did it taste like chicken.
….rrrJune 27, 2012 at 12:31 am #1078978Congrats. That’s a 50+ for sure. Those 50+ fish are NOT common, that’s for sure.

That is the reason I have 3 scales and 5 tapes placed all around the boat, and one of each in the truck.. just in case someday I hook into a fish like that!
June 27, 2012 at 5:56 am #1079050and at LEAST two cameras!
BJR, tell your bud, if this happens again to just take the measurements using fishing line. Then measure them when he gets home.
Dang nice fish whatever it weighs.
June 27, 2012 at 11:03 am #1079059 that is a hog son! June 27, 2012 at 1:01 pm #1079083Real good flathead! It’s interesting how fascinated we are by the size and lenght, just knowing its huge isn’t good enough for us… Not criticizing, I’m the same way, just interesting.
So should we start making our own guesses
!June 27, 2012 at 5:00 pm #1079173nice fish I’m so jealous

+1!! I had to do the line trick once. I just cut pieces of mono to the length of the fish and girth, then measured them at home.
June 29, 2012 at 1:55 pm #1079850I did that once and found out I caught and released a 24″ largemouth in MN that was built like a toaster. Always wonder what that weighed. Got it on a leech trying to catch some gills for supper.

Another Asian guy also caught a huge bass, I believe it was a lake in Shakopee or something?
Ok found an article, but no pictures. He caught it n O’Dowd and it was estimated at 10#. I believe this was in 1996.
I hate to tell you this, but no pictures = it didn’t happen.
Just kidding. Its not like you are making a wild claim. My brother caught a monster largemouth in Grand Rapids doing the same thing. If I fished live bait for bass I would use jumbo leeches and smallish suckers.
June 29, 2012 at 2:35 pm #1079876Whoops, don’t mean to side track things. Just realized I am in the cat forum.
June 29, 2012 at 5:11 pm #1079946…blown away by the sheer size of that one…can only imagine how powerful. Monster Fish on any body of water…WOW!~!
