Fair play - great fish.

Photos can be deceiving, depends how you hold the fish, the angles, etc, etc. So no one should be weighing a fish by a photo they see on the Net - the scales are obviously more accurate.

Cheers for ther comments lads!
Anyone know how much longer it'll be possible to catch huss. I think I read somewhere November but not too sure. I'm tied up for the next few weekends so I hope it is until November so I can get another crack at them.

i,m after getting a digital scales for my fishing but to be honest i dont think your pic does justice to the fish a shame really ,myself and eyes reilly do a fishing photography day course you bring us to all your best marks and we will show you how to make a 2 lb smoothy or bass appear over 8 lb and we are very reasonable,your huss with the right tea towel for a back drop could have looked 28 lb at least get a decent camera and a wide angle lens and you too could be the envy of your mates :mrgreen: :lol: :wink:
great huss btw 8)

Thanks for the advice Lumpy
If they're around until January it looks like the six inch caolies are going to have to wait. Sorry Roger :cry: !

That's a great huss, and the pics don't do it justice. Don't worry about the haters. Its a huge huss and if the scales say 20lb then thats what it was.

I've got pics of a 8lb smoothy which looks small compared to hounds I have pics of which wer 4-5lb. Ive also got pics off a 35lb tope which looks smaller Than my mates 18lb tope, It's just the camera angles and the camera being a phone and not a camera.

Well done on that Huss I think its gas the way a man or a woman puts up a pic of a fish and are proud of the fact they caught a fish then you get the experts commenting on the size of the fish being all wise and full of positive feedback has anyone ever caught a fish and been totally happy about it and to then have some so called expert dissect every last detail for them....

Some people have no tact at all and if a mod sends me a mail about this ill copy and post it up here too lol

I have a few funny ones about which mods warned me about posts think I deleted them :D

Open your pictures on the computer, then click on 'Open', then 'Microsoft Office Picture Manager' then 'Edit Pictures' a list of options appears. Select 'Resize Pictures'; click on 'Percentage of original width X height', reduce percentage until 'New Size in Pixels' is less than 840 wide, you should then be able to attach the pic to your report. Hope this helps!
