your opinion please

just wondered if you think these two fish are the same?

[Blue]

Id say yes. The main reason I think so is if you look at the lower half of it's tail, more so on the left hand picture you can see two little 'slits', the top one bigger, the lower one smaller, and if you look at the right hand picture you can just about make them out again. If you look at the end of the centre of the tail, it's also got a 'dink' in it on both pic's. Also the general frame of the fish is very similar. Just noticed as well, it's got very long distinctive barbules (if that's how you spell it?!?) on both pictures. Defo the same fish bud.

Nice fish to mate.

thats what i thought mate the reason i ask is my mate had it at 46lb 70z and 9 days later a fella says he had it at 53lb surely this weight gain isnt possible?

[johnny dry net]

Defo the same fish that mate, you can tell by the slits in the tail, thats some weight to gain in 9 days though, maybe he was hungry

[WHEEZY]

that sort of gain could be possible if its been eating say 5kg of boilies, but it do's seem tobe a lot over 9 days

[Stig]

Maybe it lives on a diet of half bricks or even full bricks ....just another fishermans story akin to the top pool 50 pounder that was going about a while ago why people have to inflate the size of the fish they catch i will never know ....its like when i caught that 12 pound 11 oz minnow no one believed me.....lol

[shaun]

it doe's look the same fish , but that is a fair weight gain in a short space of time

[gaz]

lol marker the bloke on the right is my mate andy and ive just checked he is deffo alive lol the date on the cam was wrong when the pics were taken. size isnt the issue just curious cause we weighed it on two sets of scales and it came out at the same weight yet it gains that much weight in 9 days wondered if this was possible

[gaz]

spooky just found out it has been out at 47lb summat so looks like someone tellin porkies or scales are massivley out

[LeAtHeR CaRp]

same fish look at the barbules, the tail also. but the weight gain is impossible, if a fish east a kg of food it doesn't put on a kg of weight, initially yes but then that weight is split into excrement, proteins fats energy used up etc

[Baza]

it doe's look the same fish though dos'nt it,are you defo sure he's not fibbing about the weight, i could easy put that weight on, but find it hard to beleive a fish could.

baz...
