What is the biggest fish anyone here has ever had?

[WhammChalk]

Coming in I would have thought it was a red tailed cat or something like that but now I hear about 30k gallon tanks and huge ponds you guys make. I wouldnt put it past someone here to have a basking shark at their home.


So, what is your biggest fish?(also list your tank/ponds size)
If you know, who has the biggest fish here?

55 gallon 19" fire eel he with his new owner in a 180gal.

I went to an aquarium in Thailand and they had an arapaima that looked to be at least 4 ft. long. They also had huge ass pacus and arowanas there, both at least 2 ft long.

If farm ponds count, I had a largemouth bass that my neighbor won a citation catching and had mounted. Fat ass was well over 5 pounds!

my 32 inch pacu

I am sure Sam gets the prize, but there are a LOT of other large fish out there.

There are several folks with 24+ inch long pacu. Those things have got to weigh upwards of 10lbs.

Red Devil snuck in ahead of me.... and proved me right! What do you figure that thing weighs? How much food does it eat?


I have a pair of 18" pacu that are now eating over 1/2lb a week. I am guessing they weigh about 4-5 lbs.

There are a couple of members keeping arapaima in adequate sized tanks. I am sure that these are the forums biggest fish.

My biggest is a 21" australian lungfish.
