75lb King caught by Carrots in Tillamook

fishnxtc · 11-09-2003, 10:42 AM

Just got off the phone with the Zaq and they said they caught a Hawg. One scale said 75lbs and they were on their way to the dock for a better scale. Guess they were fishing tidewater. Will update details as they come in...........Chris

Dear Chris,

Please tell zaq to come by for weighing and a picture!

I'm waiting! :grin:

It truly amazes me that there are 43(and growing) hits on this thread with NO picture to confirm. What gives?

Thanks a million!

I for one thought it was good humor(the link) and I'm sure the carrot clan will also get a good laugh from the link as well.

I enjoy your ribbing and the gif's in your posts.
post on!!!!

If i missed something through editing then maybe this post is obsolete.

Carrot Clan...waiting patiently for the pic of a truely great accomplishment.

Oh my God,,,you should see the fish coming in today from Tillamook Bay. I will try to get Pic. and weight later. Monstors. I am going tomorow and see if I can beat my record of 61-lbs.

Jennie@ifish · 11-09-2003, 04:43 PM

My "hmmmmmm [img]graemlins/eek13.gif[/img] "

Was in doubt of a 75 pounder. Nothing to do with ******. I think Nan is going paranoid on us. :smile:

Anyhow, with Jerry Dove's post, I am now wondering if it's true....

COULD IT BE?

OHMYGOSH!!!!

PICTURE!!! PICTURE!!! PICTURE!!!!

Whoa, whoa. Let me me explain. when I said monstors being caught, I ment 30 to 40 pounders. When I said I am going and try to break my record of 61-lbs, I should have said--( in about 1982 or l983 some where in there. )) I got two calls asking if I meant today. NO-NO-NO---ok,,,My wife say's dinner is ready. Razor clams.

steelheadslayer · 11-09-2003, 05:21 PM

weekend warrior · 11-09-2003, 05:22 PM

You can't do this to us. Post about a possible 75# by Zaq and Bobby and leave us hangin' with not even a for sure weight. The anticipation is killing me.
Guess I'll have to wait tell tomorrow like everyone else.
Later Geoff

pearl · 11-09-2003, 05:36 PM

This should be interesting ???

I ran into the Carrot crew at the dock in Garabaldi as we were putting the boats on the trailer at 1:30 PM and they told me they did as well as we did today.

O-FER

Were they woofin me or was someone woofin you?

If they had a 75lber in the boat I don't want to play Poker with those guys. I hope they did, but I have my doubts.

All in all it was a pretty slow day in the lower bay.

5-Cents · 11-09-2003, 05:42 PM

I've heard the story but I am going to let those guys tell it! :shocked: :shocked: WOW [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]

Mrdorkfish · 11-09-2003, 05:45 PM

I hope it's true.. it would make a great story for all the local and coastal papers. :smile: But..it might draw some attention from one of those pesky investagative reporters :tongue: Hmmmmm....what's this carrot juice they speak of?? :whazzup:

Can't wait guys!

Jennie@ifish · 11-09-2003, 07:53 PM

I would hope to think that this isn't a false report. If it is, it would disappoint many fishermen and women, not to mention media persons.
I know that I have gotten a couple calls about fishing tomorrow, after reading the report. I'd hate to think people think there are big ones in right now.
That happens, occasionally, when big ones come through for a couple days. I think that happened in... what, 87? A flush of huge monster fish came through, and then came back again, a week later. People were catching huge fish!

I surely hope it's true!

Jen

Spooled · 11-09-2003, 08:01 PM

I bet it is true. The Carrot Clan spends a lot of time on the water and they know how to fish, so it was only a matter of time before one of them hit the fish lotto. :smile:

Maybe it was 75 1-lbers. :grin:

Skein

SKP · 11-09-2003, 09:36 PM

I believe them. If they say they caught one, they caught one. It's probably 65-75 pound range. Read through the posts, they said they are staying down another day before they can post the pics. Wouldn't you?

How many times have you read that Team Carrot Milk scored, and then followed it with pics to prove it. Too many to count. I'm sure they will post it tomorrow night or Tuesday.

That pig will make a lot of Tillamook Head Cheese!

Here piggy piggy!

stlhdr1 · 11-09-2003, 09:48 PM

OK, now that smashes the WAshington state record of 68.26 lbs... Will be great to see a pic of this toad..!!!! Sure don't hear of many like this in Washington...

Fishplay · 11-10-2003, 06:54 AM

Wouldn't surprise me at all. I knew when there were nearly 50 lb fish being caught off Newport over the 4th of July weekend that we were in for some huge fall fish this year.

A good friend of mine landed a 60+ lb buck on the tucker the other day. It was a nice fish but he was looking to add to his egg stock so back it went.

CATCH AND EAT · 11-10-2003, 07:03 AM

Look at all this talk and still no picture. We're waiting for the picture kids.

Rick ya quiting again? Why?

Fshklr · 11-10-2003, 07:33 AM

Can't wait either!! I'll bet after today's time put in we should get a great report with some awesome pics sometime this afternoon.

Certainly it's never been denied that the "boys" are drama queens when it comes to their stories,

but you gotta hand it to them. I've not yet heard them tell a story that they didn't back up with proof. Much as I love to give them a hard time (all in fun of course), I'm betting a picture will appear at some point in the day. The last time I bet against them, it cost me $10! I'd just like to hear what the official weight turned out to be.

Marie??? Surely you must know something! Sworn to secrecy or something?

Birdnest · 11-10-2003, 07:47 AM

These guys can't even bait a hook with out taking a pic...WHERE IS THE PIC???

Captain and Marie · 11-10-2003, 07:59 AM

I made some calls and NO big fish was reported yesterday!

You can't keep something like this a secret.

No way~ A Hoax, me thinks...

Marie [img]graemlins/hearton.gif[/img]

Smj · 11-10-2003, 09:03 AM

Most other times the "Carrot Clan" had fish in the box the pics would be on the board 10Mins. before the boat got to the dock??

There's 10Mins. of reading time I'll never get back.
Funny..Funny

fishing is life · 11-10-2003, 10:06 AM

This is better than a bad soap opera. :tongue:

I dont think those guys would spout their mouth if they didnt have the goods to back it up. They would never live it down. They prob were so excited they had to get the hype going first and then let it build up till they posted. Carrot clan style. congrats to those boys for scoring big. I am envious but happy for them at the same time.

BrionLutz · 11-10-2003, 12:23 PM

SalmonStryker,

Uh...maybe someone was pulling FishnXtc's leg? I don't see any posts by any of the carrot team claiming they personally caught a 70 lb fish so I wouldn't get too serious about the "credibility gap".

They've certainly posted enough of the real stuff that I don't think they'll ever have any credibility problems.

Brion

Hogback · 11-10-2003, 12:32 PM

KHH, Danthefishman and I were Bobber fishing tidewater last week and I hooked into a fish that we couldn't budge. We were fishing a hole with a lot of snaggs (kinda redundant) and I had my drag as tight as it would go and was thumbing the spool and this fish just pulled line anyway. We could turn the fish and feel it shaking its head so we had to have it in the mouth, no tail wagging or any signs it was snagged. I handed the rod to KHH and he tried to hold this pig as it was heading for a snagg it got some momentum and it broke 40lb. line just pulling away. There be some big fish in them thar waters. If the carrot boys say they caught a 70+ pound fish I believe them, I've caught fish in the upper 40's and this fish made them feel like a minnow.
Randy

Kentucky Hog Hunter · 11-10-2003, 12:43 PM

To back up what Hogback was saying, My biggest salmon ever was in the 45# range an URB and that pig was definately bigger than that.

PS - Thanks for handing it to me Randy.

I have to say I have been a pretty good judge of weight but I would not venture a guess on what this pig weighed given I never saw it but it would have definately been my biggest. I have been hearing of many big fish being released this year as well.

I have to believe the "Carrot Clan" when they say this because they have been known to prove the truth here so I will definately give them the benefit of the doubt as well.

danthefishman · 11-10-2003, 12:50 PM
