Posco trapper Joined: Nov 2017 Posts: 11,297 Maine, Aroostook	Originally Posted by Hunter4623* Portage Lake. Got a big guy last fall. 468 or 488. I dont remember. We used an old rusty spring scale to weigh it so I wouldnt be surprised if it was way over 500#. Ill try to upload a photo but they always seem to be too big That's a lot of bear. I've shot several over three hundred and this was the biggest I've ever taken. Four hundred +/- depending on the scale one chooses to believe. Look at the head on this thing.
