deziped Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Fella caught this last week in Willamette River in Oregon City. Took 4 guys over 6 1/2 hours and 4 dz beers to reel it in. Weighed in at 1000#, had a 56" girth and 11' 1" long, estimated to be around 100 years old. It probally pumps out 55 gal drums of caviar at a shot. Oh, they let it go back.

Tracker Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I wonder what they caught this one on? I couldn't help but notice the size of the mono on the rig the guy in the pic is holding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deziped Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 that article & pic was posted in the Oregonian News Paper out of Portland OR so I'm inclined to believe it as they are only a couple miles from Oregon City where the fish was supposedly caught. But what the hey, its one big fish unless some skeptic can prove it's a doctored photo. Anythings possible these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNT Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Great fish. :eek: I'm glad to see they released it. :D It's 100 years old or so and deserves to live as long as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
