Holy moly

He's probably holding it WAY out

That's a lot of pint jars.

The way technology is making leaps and bounds there should be a camera feature with a laser tape measure and a rangefinder , or some jazz where you can see a laser tape measure .

Something that big you'd be better off with quarts or it would take you forever.

Can you imagine:

Being in a boat most of the day; the sun comes out for a few hours; you finish the beer and Vienna Sausages; the sun begins to set: You have a minor sunburn and begin to get cold; in the cooler remains one bottle of water and a Pepsi: Arms weary and ears sick of clanging spinner blades; you vow "one more cast": You're dejected BAM

Didn't read the article: I hope it wasn't caught trolling for the sake of the Earth and Climate.

That is all.

Casting into the darkness of night.....

 

[riverview]

my guess is they targeted it with livescope

Casting into the darkness of night.....

Yep. You get it. One of the few.

^^^^I read in OL or FS in the "80s or 90s": "The fish of a thousand casts can be the fish of EVERY cast at night".

Yup... early 90's top water creepers and tally whackers,working day time follows between 12and 5am 12 skis boated, hybrid lake nothing over 40's but what a rush in pitch black

From the article:

"This includes a 283-plus-pound alligator gar he caught in Texas, which is likely the heaviest freshwater fish ever landed on 6-pound test."

That's incredible!

Sure would be interesting to see some monsters taken from Canada where big pickelers will only frequently see the pressure from anglers.

Holy buckets!

There's an app for that. No idea how well it works. Uses a ball to calculate length. Google proof ball. Doesn't look like my Amazon link worked

I'm thinking we got weights in fish. Seriously though, how do you prove he caught it on 6 lb line? Is it feasible he had another rod with and just said he caught it on the Snoopy pole?

I wonder if he was able to video record the catch to have real evidence of this catch on 6 pound test, it's possible especially if he was able to use the boat as a aid to keep the monster from running out lots of line.

I'm sure it's possible, but what a miracle if he did. The teeth on those monsters and the thrashing/runs they can make are insane

Yep I agree that's why if you have a good boat operator but if he reeled that monster with 6 pound mono instead of braid on those long runs, then you have every right to be questioning the facts.
