What's the biggest fish you've ever caught?

The biggest fish I've ever caught, that I can remember anyways, is about a 9.5 pound channel cat. I've caught a lot of catfish in the 6 to 8 pound range.

I've caught a lot of bass in the 4 and 5 pound range and a couple between there and 8 pounds. The biggest bass I've ever caught was about 8.5 pounds and another just shy of that.

The biggest crappie I've ever caught was just over 2 pounds.

The biggest Walleye I've ever caught was just under 6 pounds I'd guess. It would probably be bigger but D. Winkler's netting skills were less than desirable back in the day.

My biggest to date is a 22# Striped Bass.

My biggest LMB is right at 10#. Smallmouth - 5#. Wiper - 12#

My biggest crappie has been a 3#9oz - 18 1/2" sow.

My biggest catfish I have ever landed was 16# but have had many bigger ones that have broken me off right at the boat.

I have caught many trophy size walleye but the biggest has been a 34 1/4". Caught during the spawn 9 yrs ago. She was full of eggs and the biologist estimated her to weigh between 13-15#.

I have been in a slump the past few years, not many big ones.

Biggest fish would be about a 45lb tuna caught off the Pacific coast of Mexico. Freshwater, largemouth bass 7lb 6oz, 9lb 9oz Hybrid caught at Carl Blackwell in Oklahoma. I've caught both rainbow and brown trout pushing 7 lbs on a private stretch of river (Tarryall) in colorado. Landed a 42" pike in Canada as well as a 29.5" 10 lb walleye.

Well I think I can add to my biggest fish thread now.

I'm pretty sure I caught the state record common carp at Canton lake last Thursday.

I've got pictures I need to get up tonight.

Didn't certify it due to 35mph winds (or damn near, gusts for sure) and didn't want to go all that way back. Plus, we weren't sure exactly what it was at the time, or what the record even was. I called up to the overlook and they told me but we still chose not too. At least 45 pounds. The scale only went to 30 and it bottomed it out like it wasn't even there...

I wish you would have had it weighed and measured.
