Top 5, 50 lbs or more. Good grief.

I do believe these are conversion weights from lengths...... No?

I'm guessing you're right.....it would be a hell of a coincidence for that many 10.82 lb fish to be caught.

I believe it is. Still incredibly impressive.

I heard that it is a weigh tournament. I cant find a rules page yet but still looking

What’s it matter? 10 fish of that caliber to win is nuts. Let alone the massive weights 20 places down. That’s a crazy amount of high quality fish. Even Erie doesn’t have many weights like that.

I’d love to know more about how they’re catching these fish.

It is length converted to weight as shown above. Works out both ways. I used to live in Montana and still fish tournaments all the time there. It really has been good for many years, just find that big school of fish. I remember back in 90's when Shell village on Sak was kicking out pigs too it was fun back than also. Spring is really good and then gets better late summer.

Just about anything works depends the time of the year but blade baits do shine at times. Shows how graph technology has changed fishing.
