Today, Jeff Mironuck of Home Waters Guiding and his buddy Jason visiting from Calgary drifted with Tracey. They pulled in the largest fish tagged in this entire study, measuring in at 48.0 cm fork length. Not only did they pull in this donkey, but they also got two more record breaking fish over 45 cm long!! Previously, that record was held by Kevin Green of Elk River Guiding who pulled a fish in that measured 44.0 cm last year. Read more...
FYI, this still does not shatter my belief that the notion of the 20 inch cuttie in this river is nothing more than a classic fishing myth. 1 inch is equal to 2.54 cm, so when you do the math, it means that today's record fish came in at just under 19 inches. I suppose if one were to measure to the tip of the upper or lower lobe of the tail instead of the fork, one could add an extra half an inch, but that is still under 20 inches in my books.
If you have a drift boat and some extra time to spare, be the one to prove me wrong and come out help me tag!
