The biggest fish I have ever caught is a 17 pound channel catfish. The ones I'm most proud of though are a three pound brown trout,from Arkansas White River, and a four pound smallmouth from Michigan's Sturgeon River, right at its mouth at Lake Michigan.

6 1/2 pound wiper, or 6 1/2 pound brown. The wiper was the only fish of the day, the brown was caught in front of a boat full of fools ridiculing the small size of my trolling boat.

Not sure if international fishing counts, but I landed a 45 lb 4'6" dorado off the coast of Baja California when I was 10. My stepfather was my anchor and it took about an hour to land. My freshwater record is a 39" 18lb steelhead from the Deschutes just this last summer.

ES- Your blue fish grew by an inch in 3 minutes! Incredible!!! :)

Mine is a 48 inch munskie on lake vermilion MN. Lots of fun.

the biggest fish i've caught was a 25 inch 12.5 pound largermouth bass in central minnesota with an ultra light while ice fishing

mine was a 30 pound amber jack caught in florida

I once hooked on to the fabled tree-fish, but as i brought him up and caught a tiny glimpse of his bark-like scales, he snapped my line and sunk down to the murky depths. I swear he smiled

flytie...Darn! I tell that to students in school, and thought it was fairly new. I do have a picture that I show students in school of my buddy holding up a King Salmon caught on WASH ST.'s Olympic Peninsula on 12 lb test, and a steelhead rod using bait casting reels. They always want to delay getting to work, and someone will try to get me going by asking "What's the biggest fish you ever caught?" The photo is nothing short of incredible. I got low, and angled up the shot, and it appears to be a fish almost as tall as my 6'1" buddy. Those were the days I will never forget. An old flop house motel we would stay in near the ocean beach,..rough put-ins of our driftboat down an old logging road onto the gravel bar and launch..going down river in the dark my buddy holding a flashlight so I could see what the rushing water was all about, and avoid a tree in the water...then anchor up in a drift with these large kings surface rolling around that we could hear waiting for it to get light enough to cast. A seal might pop his head up in the hole chasing these kings up river from the salt. We were just a few miles from the salt water.

Don't worry T I held a state record for about a year for a 6 pound 2 oz smallmouth bass and even my biggest fish could eat this and be hungry still. Biggest Salt fish was a 145 pound tarpon. biggest freshwater 82 pound blue cat.

17 lb. Amberjack. Small for an amberjack, but when you're bottom fishin with 60 lb. line and the drag cranked down all the way, it tries to pull your arms off. The fish I am most proud of was a 21 inch rainbow caught right at daybreak. It was nice to finally be the guy to catch the big one on opening day.

26" Brown at the North Fork of the White River while my friend was playing Deep River Blues on the bank of the river. I holler'd at him when I hooked into it, he said it did a tailstand that whent above my head!

shane...That was one skinny rainbow. A 32" rainbow, by formula, should have weighed 12 lbs. Did it slip through the bottom of the net holes?

My most memorable big fish was a 29" walleye caught through the ice on Lake Mille Lacs. It was so much fun catching it because I could see it swimming under the ice past my hole several times before I finally turning its heads up to my ice hole and got it out of the water.

My most memorable fish was an 8lb Walleye at our camp in Northern Ontario. It was a beautiful August evening and I could see the yellow/gold on her side for about 15 minutes before she finally got in the boat. My wife caught a 9lb Walleye in the same spot on her first trip up there. The biggest is an 18lb Pike caught on the same lake.
