blue109 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Saw a pic of Bigfoot recently too. I've seen a 500lb pig. it didn't look like that. Must have missed a zero? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnatshooter Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Yeah I remember that one. 800 lbs is still pretty big for a hog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microgunner Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) The photographer used forced perspective to make the hog appear larger. The hunter is behind the hog quite a few feet and then using a small aperture setting to increase the depth of field the photographer gives the appearance of a monstrous hog. The hog may well be 500lbs but if the hunter was sitting on the hog the hog would appear much more realistic in size.

I know they'll hit 500 I guess but there is some elution going on with that pic like micro said it's been played with. The Russian board get huge, which I'm pretty sure that's what it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt that 500lbs can reached easily in good habitat . That hogzilla was later found to have been farm raised most of its life and then went feral .

planeflyer21 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 You were catching STRIPPERS?

Microgunner Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 I was using a very stiff rod and a reheaded-johnson woolybooger for bait :yup: Wash I used to work in a strip club about a hundred years ago (was a bouncer actually). The ONLY bait that strippers are attracted to is cold, hard cash. Even a 4' toothless ugly som om a bitch will get lots of attention if he has cash and a 6' Adonis with empty pockets will get ignored. Hookers are much more honest than strippers. At least with hookers you know what you're gonna get for your money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Armory Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 You were catching STRIPPERS? Tell e what bait you were using... <lmao>Dollars, bills taped to the floor in a long line. We used a cage to trap them, the natural enviroment and low lighting works everytime. Mood music and beer on the floor confuses them.
