Re: 20lb mayo huss
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.

Re: 20lb mayo huss
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.

Re: 20lb mayo huss
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
great huss btw

If they're around until January it looks like the six inch caolies are going to have to wait. Sorry Roger

Re: 20lb mayo huss
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.

Re: 20lb mayo huss
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

Re: 20lb mayo huss
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!SHANE R wrote:I can't seem to get the pictures resized any tips
