[Traveling Circus]

If reading that don't put a grin on your face and a twinkle in your eye, nothing will.......

very cool.......

[motoman]

im starting too re-think about that 50lber post awhile back looks like it could happen in 3 months.

[bloodshot]

I think im gonna need a bigger boat!!!!

[eturc]

Oh man....

I really need to change out the 20lb test on my rigger rods....

I snapped off 2 fish last year.

Time to go to 30-40lb test - damn...

Dream on guys,it ain't gonna happen, no 50lbrs . Sorry John.

[Big Dave]

Well arn't you the one to p in the pool all you need is a five year old insted of a four. Still should be a fun fall

[W.W.IV.]

Hey Big Dave,Your right about the 5 year old,that could do it but I think not. Back in the seventies or eighties the boy's at the Salmon River hatchery treated a batch of salmon eggs so they would not spawn till maybe 5-6 years old to try and get a 50lber. No luck. I think they need to go into salt water to get that size. I say enjoy the 30lbers and a 40+ will be a bonus .Tight line and keep on dreaming.

[Tim Bromund]

They don't need to go into salt to achieve that size, it would take a different genetic strain than the Tule Strain Chinooks we have in the great lakes. The Kenai River kings get to the sizes they do because that genetic strain matures at 7 years instead if 3/4 like ours do.

Still, we've hit high 47 lb fish in the past on Lake Ontario, so I suppose it is always possible for one to hit 50, unlikley though.

I would like to see a picture of that 40+ fish that was just caught.

I would love to drag one of them up to the taxidermist.

[Big Dave]

Im ready I bought a cooler with snap on wheels That 47# is the biggest caught , what is the biggest that has come into the hatchery???

[W.W.IV.]

I think if a fish that big,47+lbs came into the hatchery there would be pictures on the front page and the BBC news at 6:00 world wide.

Stay tuned, The way things are going this year, you might see it. Wishful thinking. I would love to see Lake Ontario put out another pig like that. Just imagine what it would do for fishing on Lake Ontario. I can here it now, come and fish the only Great Lake with big salmon. Oh wait, thats true now.

[W.W.IV.]

If a 50lber is weighed in please check it for the 10# herbie I lost last year.

[Chromeslayer]

almost another 40 weighed in today in the GOSD... need a solid wind/weather change to send all are fish home
