Did not weight it in Trident.Sold it to sushi bar downtown,Santiago.Dont do the Trident thing.
Did not mean to fuel a pissing match, but I dont appreciate a fellow angler questioning my sincerity on a fishing report.Especially from an angler thats looked to as a super hero on this site.Anyway,he knows it was a true report.He called enough people to verify it.Amazing how small Charleston really is folks.
I vow to always report truth and no BS.You should too.
Hey sells I did have a wholesale licence and after talking to the man in the pic he did not tel you it went 22lbs.He said 31.5 like it did .Talk about being a cry baby .You called people to see if it was true if someone caught a bigger fish than you? Im over this whole thing.Stop holding your fish so close to the camera so they look huge.Your no superhero like you claim to be.Anyday you want to go out and fish let me know.Your not the only one in Charleston that can tie a chicken rig and butterfly a b liner.
I bet you take bubble baths too.
Get over it.Try being a sportsman instead of cutting people down because they shared a pic of a good day of fishing.
People like you and your buddies on this site are why the best fisherman I know dont come on here.
It was 31.5. Get it right.I personally dont give a rats ass if you belive me or not.Im done with this pissing match with you.You know the truth.Get a life.You can catch some fish sells.Some big ones.Ill give you that.But why call me a liar? Did my crew beat your personal best? Who really gives a F$%&*.Before I registered with CF,I respected you as a fellow angler.Ive lost all respect for you and some of the other wanna bes on this site.I know that ARS went 31.5 and am tired of your s#$%.I have better things to do.
You are the man Sellsfish.
Maybe that scamp was a state record.I dont give a s%$!. I made $800.00 that night,paid for the trip,and had a freezer full of fish.
Let me know when we can have a fish off.My boys are ready.Money in hand.
Honest question, how were you able to sell them for $800? How long were they off ice for the glory shots? Is that an issue for folks eating it for sushi?
how is it that the above pictured fish “look” very similar in size and lenth yet weight 10# different?
It depends on how close you hold a fish to the camera…an yes girth makes a big difference, that 32 pounder was a fat old pig…we guessed high twenties and weight came in above 32.
Aberdeens fish could be 30+ who knows, camera angles, distances, all that stuff makes it real hard to tell. Does’nt really matter anyway, it was a nice fish regardless.
I know a few things about some people and let me tell you this. Sellsfish and Courtland both have caught more big snapper (and posted pictures on CF) than anyone else on this website. They usually always post weights too. If Courtlands fish was 22, there’s no way not a chance that Aberdeen’s fish is 31. No way, unless it had a handful of sinkers in its belly, it just wouldn’t go that big.
And Sells is the king of judging a fish and guessing the weight. On no less than 25 different occasions, I’ve seen him guestimate the weight on a grouper or snapper that he or someone else on the boat has caught and he’s always within a pound. Always.
I’m not sayin’, I’m just sayin’, ya know?
