Mitch f Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 It was 30 seconds or so before we even saw the fish, we didn't have a net and so we let him fight for another 90 seconds.

Al Agnew Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 It's always hard to judge fish in photos unless there is something in the photo that gives you a frame of reference. The fish on Troutt and Sons website doesn't look like a 24 incher or a 6 pounder to me, either, but without a good frame of reference I'm not going to say it wasn't. On the other hand, I would have guessed the Gasconade fish in Mitch's picture to be at least 6 pounds. That is one beautiful fish! I'm still sticking with what I said originally...legitimate 6 pound smallies--or smallies over 22 inches for that matter--are VERY rare in Ozark streams, and I suspect that years go by between catches of fish that size. A 24 incher is an extreme rarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
