He said: So today is a personal milestone for me as a sportsman. Today i landed a true giant. This walleye measured 32" in length weighed 15.2lbs and had an unreal girth of just over 24 1/2" this photo was taken by my father in law Edward Rossi he also helped measure and weigh this monster. This fish was full of eggs so she was given a big wet kiss and released....thank you lord and thank you fish gods. Also i would like to thank Jeff Trumar the sub 30 rod you built for me handled everything this River monster had. Also thank you to BfishN tackle for the fantastic plastic she couldn't resist

This guy kinda looks like Lawrence King, the guy on the Bismarck Public School Board that recently voted to give large amounts of taxpayer money to downtown businesses that should have gone towards education....

Maybe it is, maybe it isnt, one just reminded me of the other....

Same school board that refused to give any funding towards new hockey rinks for students in Bismarck... Guess you know where their allegiance is.

Ice rinks? everyone wants something. I say we siphon some funds off for bigger walleyes so I can finally catch one.


Nice fish. I was studying the shoreline and didn't recognize it. hehe

Impressive fish and the weight appears accurate. His measurements are a bit suspect, though. This calculation has been very accurate for me in the past: Girth X Girth X Length divided by 800. 24.5*24.5*32/800= 24.01 pounds.

I guess what Im thinking, if the school board thinks there is extra money available, that isnt needed directly for education, they should put it towards something that actually will benefit the children in this community, instead of bars downtown.

Huh, I've never tried that. Does that work over time? I mean, has it worked out to be true?

I'm scratching my head here. Don't see what the Bismarck School Board has to do with walleyes.

Dude, how dense are you, this is a classic thread hijack, just go with it....

Thread Hijacking
When a person starts a posting on a message board, or forum, or Facebook, that others are able to comment on, that original posting and the comments on it are called a thread. A thread hijacking occurs when one or more individuals commenting on the original posting, go off topic, creating a separate conversation.

Actually since these guys share a last name, it might be off topic, but possibly related. #$%^&>

What planet are you on right now? Not even close to the thread topic. Haha
