A friend of mine got this fish on the Sky several years ago, I have never posted it because I didnt know how. Thanks to Abu Loomis I figured it out. This fish is 25# plus any guesses?

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

That is one hell of a fish. The sky still does have some big fish. Steelies and kings, they are just far and few between it seems. One of the biggest fish I've ever seen come out of the sky.

His name isn't Dave by any chance is it?

No its not Dave, and it is one of the biggest fish I have seen come out of the Sky. I need to look at Eli RIcos pics again but I dont think there is much difference between this fish and his 30# .

Its hard to compare these pics, it totally depends on the size of the guys and the way they are holding them. Eli Rico is a pretty small guy and the other guy is holding the fish way out towards the camera.
