My record is a yellow fin tuna caught off the coast of Kona in Hawaii

Length: 70"
Weight: 159 lbs.
Reel in time: 30 mins.
 
Caught a Mako out of Oregon Inlet N.C.





Length: 12' 4
Weight: Not really sure We had it steaked and on ice before we left the gulf stream.
Fight Time:45 mins
 
Freshwater: 8 lb. large mouth bass, a little over two feet. Fight time was like 10 minutes of splashing, thrashing, and jumping.

Saltwater: Big Kingfish, over 3 feet. It was a while ago and don't actually remember much about the weight but the fight was great.
 
Fresh water 15pound Channel
Salt Water 25 pound wahoo
 
Iv'e done most of my fishing in CO, but biggest I ever caught was on vacation in Florida - 40 lb. Amberjack. Dang that thing was good eatin'!
 
FW: 12" LMB Creme Night Crawler. Fight time: zero. I didnt pull it in hard, it was in 2 feet of muddy water and a slow take so I still thought I was jigging the lure when I saw it. Came alive when I put him in a bucket to unhook. In fact, he jumped out!
Also a similarly sized Bullhead Catfish with a huge lump (Bluegill?) In his stomach with a melanistic head. Gopod fight on a Silverside tail.
SW: Cownose Ray over 20lbs on 15lb test line.. Bat: Shrimp. Fight time: 5 mins. Location: Charlotte Harbor.
Right inside the canals in Punta Gorda, in full view of the flats where monsyter Stingrays glide are Barracuda, Jack Crevalle, Snook, Black Drum, Dogtooth Snapper, and the occasional 300lb Grouper. Next year I'm going for them, and maybe even some Spinners on the flats :naughty:
