While some of you were looking for Easter Eggs, I went out looking for an Easter Toad. Luckily for me, I found one!

Ok, before I tell you what it taped out at, how about some guesses?

Just remember that I am 7'2", and 350 pounds, so that fish looks much smaller than it really is! ;\)

This fish was caught on the lower Queets and released.

Parker, Nice fish! I'll say 21.5. I know you're not 7', but you don't look that small either.
How in the hell do you pull off going fishing on Easter? My privates would be hanging from my wifes' rear view mirror.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

With those shoulders, that fish could kick the ass of anything under 22 lbs. That fish has been workin' out.

The fish taped out at 39 x 22. The fish calculamalators say that should be 24.3 pounds, or so.

The fish wasn't long, but yeah DanS, it sure was stocky and big shoulders.

I'd put the weight in the 23-24 pound range. Unfortunately, I don't think it was a 25+ er.

This fish was caught by drift fishing some eggs and a pearl pink corky.
