Hi all
Was fishing the sixmile on thr night when this monster smashed my fly. Didnt have any scales and returned the fish back to fight another day.
Was just wondering what weight would you estimate, I'm Hoping it's a double it certainly felt like it.
apologies for the poor photo.[img][/img]

Unless you have exceptionally large hands, I'd take a stab in the dark at 8 to 9lbs, nice catch!

Ditto TT

Its 7lb 6oz easy to tell

Fish nearly always look smaller on photographs, but then again, we have the old 'holding the fish way in front of the body trick' going on as well. Taking everything in to account I'd say somewhere between 7.5 and 8.5 lb.

It was Deffo more than seven and a half pound,I would have said at least nine, plus the photo dosent do it any justice but what the heck it's still a beautie.

Was hoping you were going to ask how I knew.
My reply was going to be it had scales on its back sorry its an old fisherman joke.
Its always a job to estimate fish from pictures, just look at some in the Troutmaster results! a 10lb er can look smaller than one say at 6lb.
Nice fish though and tight lines

9lb 15oz Where were ye fishing

Going to ihave to say not quite a double. If i had to have a bet on it i'd say more than 7.5, less than 10. call it a good 9! lovely fish though!!

I'll go for about nine pounds.
