Title: Old Photos
Post by: Rugburn on Apr 15, 2018, 05:01 PM: Ran across some old fish related pics while cleaning this weekend.
These photos were taken in Guffin Bay many moons ago, before I owned a digital camera.
Guffin Bay is on the north east corner of Lake Ontario. A neighbor alerted us to a belly up fish we might want to have a look at.
It was a fourth of July weekend, and the neighbors did alert the DEC. Didn't have a tape measure on the boat unfortunately. So I tried to get my swimming fool of a daughter to pose next to the great fish to show proportionate size. "No way Dad!" Still couldn't convince her after telling her she would live to be over 100 if she swam with the mighty Sturgeon!
We did roll it over and looked but didn't see any obvious injuries.
Any idea how old a fish like this might be?

Post by: trapper2000 on Apr 17, 2018, 03:08 PM: back in the late early 70's I enjoyed catching salmon and lake Ontario trout with the best friend I ever had ..... he was my fishing and trapping partner even went hunting with me although he hated guns after the war .... we always had fun .....as time went by I seen our roles switch .he no longer carried me on his shoulder and I was the one waiting for him ,but that was ok .....to be honest we probably should be in jail for some of the shenanigans we pulled ,I look back at it now and laugh .... I think the statutes of limitation is over by now ......anyway ..... to my best friend ,teacher ,and buddy ,my pop ....... I'm thinking he's ripping salmon in heaven right now and it's legal there

Sounds familiar! I entered the contest, '78-'81? Had my fish weight at a local deli also, 6lb. 9.5oz. Last bass I have ever killed... released two that were bigger too.

Another one that seems familiar... my son was in second grade. I was going to let him stay home from school and go with me turkey hunting. Connected on a nice turkey behind the house, first light. He was still able to get on the bus. He wanted to wear his camo to school, we compromised, camo pants only. He teacher call me at home that day, she never seen Charlie so excited! ;D
