Slab of the Millenium?

Arguably one of the single greatest pieces of fish porn we've ever seen. This one came to us second hand so we don't know any of the details..... other than that is one big ass taimen.

Gotta hope it was catch and release?!
What a awesome fish , how old will this guy be ? Was this in Mongolia?
O-M-G!!!
That fish probably swallowed his pet dog, and this is his act of revenge! Either that or he was midge fishing with a 3 weight and a size #26 midge larvae.
That is in the Russian Far East. Pretty sure its with the outfitter that Mikhail Skopets works with. Catch and Release.
And here's the link http://flyfishingrussia.blogspot.com/ I am trying to put together a trip with Misha sometime to these rivers.
Tugur River right?
and thats a Columbia fleece he's wearing
he had muffins for breakfast
Hey Columbia fleece Mc Muffin dude, you are not Andy P ... knew I had seen this one:http://flyfishingrussia.blogspot.com/2009/05/tugur-river-home-of-siberian-taimen.html
I am gay!
I like little boys and big fish, whats it to ya.
Yep I am a Douche!
I saw this same shot with info at - http://www.lemouching.com/
Mother Pusbucket that is a significant taimen. Equally as fascinating is that the dude can't even muster up a smile after catching the fish of the century. Joe freakin' Too Cool To Smile I guess. I'd be pleased as punch to have messed inside my waders on that one.
...yep, BAF
...taken on a #16 elk hair caddis I'm guessing...
Epic fish.
The Fish Bums are really letting themselves go. Just sayin.
Andy P-nis WTF ladies night at the gay bar or hacked account?
that is truly a beast of a fish. WINNER. that is like the chuck norris of fish.
No one else need bother for December! Man what a fish. To hell with size 14 EHC - he used a size 6/0 lemming immitation, cast with a 2x4 threaded with 3/8in nylon rope.
jesus christ, how the F&*K did he get that goddamn thing out of the water without throwing out his back?
Nope I am coming out of the closet and I like big fish...it makes me frisky :)
hey WVangler,
He's stoned, look at that deer in a headlight look on his face.
Uncomprehensible
This is why you don't teach your kids to swim in Mongo.
