Chef Pass area trout
 

All caught on Norton's Sand eels suspended in 27-35 feet of water. Anyone want to guess the size of the largest one?

hard to say from pics... 4.5 ish

5.1

There isn't a trout in the ice chest that weighs less than 2 pounds. And the ice chest is 94 qt.

10lbs

Well Im pretty sure a 94 qt ice chest is only 26-27 inches wide cause thats what I have in my boat so I'll say 5-6lbs cause them lake P area trout are short n stocky

7.25

6ish

Going by this http://www.igloo-store.com/detail/IGL+MARINE+ULTRA+94 It's 30.5" on the inside

I imported his pic, scaled the ice chest to that measurment. Then I pulled a measurment on the fish. Comes out to 21 13/16" I dont know how close that is. I'd imagine a + or - 1" or so.

Here's a screenshot.

I take it back... I think mine is the 72 not the 94

And I take back the size of the cooler as well I just went checked the size of the cooler is actually a 120 not the 94. It is under 10#s and above 7.25.

More work to do!

So I recalcualted the drawing and used the (Length in inches X Girth in inches X Girth in inches) / 847 = weight in pounds and came up with 8.443181 pounds. how close am I?

I thought the igloo marine 120qt had rope handles?

3.5#s

Maybe 3 lbs. no more LOL

It's bigger than anything I caught today!

8.51# Very impressive calculation. You win.

The 120 has rope handles.

Igloo Max Cool has plastic handles.

Yes but a max cool is not the chest in the pic

?

Are you serious?

Thats what im tryin to figure out....

inside lid of a 120 qt... looks different

That is a igloo max cool which he claims his is.

got me curious now lol

that spot has produced quite a number of large trout. I was with my friend when he pulled in an 8 pounder right there. and the next cast my other buddy lost one at the boat that was over 6 easily.

Busted by a friggin' cooler??????? :eek: :smokin: :help:

No but I know chef pass and out of all the times I've pounded those banks there's only one place that produced that many trout and that big of trout consistently. Especially since mrgo closure

salty gate 2?????

I dont argue with that... I know some big fish have come from there

The mistake made here was leaving the weight of a trout from a pic open for discussion. Regardless of the weight nice haul keep the reports coming.

agreed...We get a lil CSI sometimes lol. Its a nice fish and a nice box shot thanks for the report

Being that it is a 94qt igloo marine cooler in the pic i agree that the trout is 21-22".

Since you asked


Do you have a pic holding this trout?? Looks about 4.5 cuz its not much bigger than the dinks in the chest

:rotfl: i agree....terrible pics btw

Bump

lmao

I want to hear more about this illusive 8.5lb trout in the 95qt igloo

Can we get a "GlooGate" I call a 120qt marine with a plastic handle conversion kit!:p
Or was he just flat out busted:eek:

That's a 26-1/2" fillet knife

You know where a brother might be able to hold one like dat?
Dat be good fo dem big reds n drums!

I thought about that too

It's bigger than anything I've ever caught

Well thanks...... it was slow day at work and the inrenet helped quite a bit.

Some do some don't, I didn't find any on Igloos site but I know my dad has one with plastic handles.

Apparantly

That's correct


The Ice Chest shot was nice.

I tried scaling his pic with the knife and I couldn't anything going, the picture is on to much of an angle.
