THE COD CHAMP IS BACK !!

Nice fish there Brian!!!! Nearly as good as that flounder i got with you and Alan in september on inch!!! yeah, right! :lol: :cry: :lol: :lol:

[quoteDAM S. get your facts right.

i have met dbrock many times and i would easily put that BASS in and around the 4lb mark... [/quote]

dam and there was me thinking it was only 6 or 7 onces of been a specimen not 6 or 7 lb ,,,

sorry didnt realise he was a shortarse :D

you actually have a bass DVD ???!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: HOW SAD !!! if you need any advice on how to catch anything other than a bass give me a shout !!!

push the fish to the camera , oldest trick in the book , may fool all the guys on this site,exept ADAM S he actually thought the fish ,as i do around 4LBS,NOT MUCH BIGGER THAN A DECENT SCOOLIE,,and the cod will never make 5lbs while its got a hole in its axxxxxxe,
and going all the way to yougal from the big smoke for what seems 2 very medeocre fish,suppose you have to do some romancing,,
and yes young man lets get it on in a cod match we will see how many 5 lbs you get then,,
and as to stevecrow do not buy sea angler if you cannot read ,as it is said on the marmalade tin,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,



THICK CUT

Who let you out of the asylum cazbass, you muppet coming on slating people for no reason!!

listen here dont be so stupid !!!! your just making enemys for yourself by starting this !! and some of which you dont want to get on the wrong side of :evil: :evil: !!! just go into dbrocks profile !! there is another picture of the bass !!! you'll see
""its exactly what it said on the tin "" sort a speak !!!
why dont you post some of your pics !!!

Ah jealousy will make some say weird things!!!!!!

Easy lads.... Caz, I can only assume you're having a chuckle at winding people up here as its clear from the pic that unless Dennis has hands the size of my 2 year old that is indeed a hefty fish.

holding fish out , towards the camera just makes for a better picture IMO (where else would you put them, behind your back??), yes you can over do it but i dont think that fish is pushed out particularly far.

but just to clarify i said that i did think that the bass could go 9lbs. cant comment on the cod as i dont fish for them

around 4LBS,NOT MUCH BIGGER THAN A DECENT SCOOLIE,,

:roll: yea 4lbs !! well in the words of henry gilby !! ; ""WOULD YOU ADAM AND EVE IT "" :lol: :lol: :lol: :wink:

i have just 1 thing to say i have fished with both lads and although ive fished with boycie more than brock if the lads say that was the weight then that was the weight

Codless (boycie) might be an annoying so and so :lol: :lol: but ive never known him to tell porkies about the size of fish

Been a lot of bad things said here on this thread starting from my original comment that i do not believe that the bass in the pic at yougal was not 9lbs9oz,,obviously touched a nerve,,
now scaling the fish after downloading to my pictures i make the length of the fish an absolute maximum of 600mm or just under 24 inch relative to the captures finger spread and other simple calculations,,
so allowing for bulking for the time of year we are looking at a fish on the length to weight ratio of a absolute maximum of 6lb.5oz,,
all i can say to you guys that want the glory roaming the country on fishing exploits which i do admire you all ,loved sea angling for 40 yrs keep it real and honest when reports go in,and what you have to remember is that its not only the guys on the site that you are cheating its yourselfs a fish of 6.5 is a fantastic fish so why elaborate??
as a matter of interest a fish of 9,9 would have been73 cm or or 29 inches long to the length weight ratio :shock: :shock: :shock:

regards Graham Hill

Dbrock's left hand is more forward than his right therefore he is holding the fish at an angle so ya cant measure the true length, your seen it at a slight perspective view so if ya scaled of this picture you cant get its true length. the fish would need to be parallel to the camera to get an accurate scaled length.

and as to stevecrow do not buy sea angler if you cannot read ,as it is said on the marmalade tin,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

THICK CUT

is that the best you could do??

i might be thick cut, but at least its the good stuff i'm cut from :D

now scaling the fish after downloading to my pictures i make the length of the fish an absolute maximum of 600mm

did you get permission to download it??

and i dont know what calculator you were using, you should probably go back to using an abacus.

this year i caught a bass measuring 50cm (500mm to you) and weighed in at just over 3lbs, but 2 yrs ago i caught a bass that was 62cm(620mm to you) and it weighed in at 8lbs 8oz, (just goes to show you cant judge weight by length)and if you look at the bass posted

[img]http://www.sea-angling-ireland.org/bulletin%20board/album_mod/upload/b_bass_274.jpg[/img]

it aint skinny(neither is the person holding it) and its obviously more than 60cm(600mm to you), i personally would put it at around 70-74cm(700-740mm to you)

this argument has become pointless, i believe the fish is the weight it has been stated , 9.9lbs. even if it wasn't whats the point in creating a big deal about it, no ones dead, the fish was returned every things ok, get over it cazz.

wow caz im honered such a celeb went to that much trouble trying to measure a fish from a photo,,,,,,,, fair play,,,
as for the glory part what are you on about this is fishing,, its called luck,,boycie could have caught the fish as easy as me

well if the fish is so so small as you put it why did david gray ask for a pic to be emailed to himself?????? im sure he can get pics of 4lb oh oh sry6.5lb bass any time,,

i'd like to know how he measured the fish tbh, was he there, has he ever met brock for size comparison.

and as to stevecrow do not buy sea angler if you cannot read ,as it is said on the marmalade tin,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

mr crow having landed the grand total of two bass up to now this year as noticed in your catch reports i bow to your superior knowlege of this great species,,,
i do not consider you comments ,due to your experience of catching bass, a viable scourse do you know the size of a 74 cm 740mmbass??
as the man said its getting bigger :roll: :roll:

Think its time to put this one to bed.
Don't give him any more fuel... :wink:

Nice fish btw. Regardless of weight
