Title: 5 pounds of rod bending fun!
Post by: Waterfoul on July 24, 2012, 10:46:11 PM
Got this one fishing Big Whitefish Lake Monday morning.  She dove under the boat and actually jumped on the other side... behind me!  What a blast!

Nice!!  I haven't gotten one in the 5# range this year. I'm jealous.

Yeah, on my scale it went 4.92.  On your scale it would have been 5.15 for sure!

so what you're saying is, that if you added a 2oz bag, it would have been 4.92 still + the weight of the bag?

No... I'm saying that compared to others, the Monday night scale seems to weigh and ounce or so heavier than some other scales I bring fish to on a weekly basis.  No big deal... I like a heavy scale!
