armchair _hunter 5 Posted November 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 (edited) got the scales and was out on tuesday and blanked it was pissing down the whole 3hrs i was there, managed at a push to get out this afternoon again for about 4 hrs, got two fish the first was 14lb 2 and the second a jack at 2lb 6, well pleased! there was a 18lb a few years ago and a 19lb at the start of this september, think ill stick at this one lake for my twenty, theres f**k all about close to home and as this is on farmland and the farmhand pike fishes aswell as keeps a few ducks on it theres no hope for the eastern europeans eta- didnt photo the jack Edited November 6, 2010 by armchair _hunter Quote Link to post
Plong 21 Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 (edited) Well done but your scales must be faulty, looks no bigger than the other one you put up that weighed 6-8lb LOL. When you take the pictures of them if you take the picture of the same side you can see if there the same fish by the markings, that fish could be the same one you had last week.

jf1970 328 Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 nice fish mate, but i have to agree with plonk, doesn't look like a 14lb er, did you zero in your scales before weighing? Quote Link to post
Plong 21 Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 It will be 14lb its a long fish, looks bigger in the second photo he says he's 6 foot tall so it's a nice length. Quote Link to post

armchair _hunter 5 Posted November 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 yeah zereoed the scales first, im gonna check them with a bag of sugar sometime over the weekend, there jrc's and cost £40 so would like to think they were right! was doin a comparison last nite of the above pic and one i caught in september, think they might be the same fish, but as there videos converted too pics the qualities not good enough for a definite comparison, tight lines to anyone out this weekend Quote Link to post
runforyourlife 361 Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Armchair, take no notice of them pal. You dont have to answer to anybody. Especialy someone with such great weight eyes! Just keep enjoying your angling pal, at least your getting out there and putting hooks in fish... maybe Plong we could see a few of your big fish......seeing as you have been the tackle industry for so long, you must have some realuns....

Plong 21 Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 You have changed your tune after slagging his last fish off saying it was 8lb. Quote Link to post
runforyourlife 361 Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 what the f**k you on about mate.. It was 8 or 9lb!! I have never ever ever slaged anyone off in the fishing game pal. Now you keep saying things to him to put him down. So come on, money where your mouth is. It was you whom said you had been in the tackle trade for some time. Lets have a look pal at some of your fish.. aPut 5 different 20's up pls... Quote Link to post
Plong 21 Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 All I said was the fish looked almost exactly the same size as the first which I said was defently a double, but most others seemed to think weighed around 8lb. Now he has weighed a fish that could well be the same fish at 14lb it proved me right. As for photos A I don't know how to put them up B I have no interest in posting them up to prove a point to you, C I will never post any pictures of me or my dogs on a hunting forum, nothing against those who do just I choose not to. Notice you aint put any of your pictures up apart from that 9lb one you have now taken down. Quote Link to post

bmu 0 Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Nice fish armchair, I'd estimate them both to be in the 10-12lb range but it's hard to say from photos Quote Link to post
