ineedtofish Eyed Egg Registered: 02/25/12 Posts: 8	Hello, I am new here. This was caught in Idaho last season. Didn't have time to weigh or measure since it was a nate. Just kind of curious what you guys thought it might have weighed? Attachments Edited by ineedtofish (02/25/12 03:23 PM)

ineedtofish Eyed Egg Registered: 02/25/12 Posts: 8	Wow thanks! Love all the snide remarks about the meat and the handling, you guys are great! And no, we cannot keep nates, the meat pic was from different fish, same river. Lifted it out of the water for 3 seconds to snap a pic. Originally Posted By: Slab Happy the long-arm shot makes a guess tough, but I'd be surprised if it is over 15 And seriously? Long arm? About as short arm as I can get, idiot. Just had a simple question about the size, which I thought would be enjoyable...but no. Never posting on here again. I knew I shouldn't have tried to join your "club." What a bunch of pretentious jerks.
