A 11# catfish while bass fishing. She was everybit of 30+ inches. What sucks is I thought it was a GIANT bass because it was fighting so hard and got really excited till my dad netted it.... then I was like WT.H.
Caught bigger saltwater fish though

Caught a big old mud cat out of the Monongahelia River in Pittsburgh, PA that went about 10+ lbs. Caught it on a Mepps Bucktailed Spinner near a sewer outlet and some guy asked me if I was going to eat it. I said heck no and he asked for it. I gave it to him. We need a barf smiley for such things.

Mine is a 45' 25lb musky caught on the Potomac, on top water. Now that was fun! ;D
Iowa Matt reply :
Caught a grass carp over 50lb last year on a Mulberry! Saw them feeding on the berries that were falling into the water from the tree so I gathered some up and skewered one on a Mosquito hook on my UL with 4lb fireline and cast it under the tree. Had a hit immediatly and had to follow the fish with the trolling motor for a while before landing it. Bottomed out my 50lb scale easily. Shallow sandy lake with no structure for him to get into was the only reason I landed him on such light line.

Just 1-pound shy of Florida's certified record (Remarkable!)
From what I'm reading, big bass are showing up again on Panasoffkee (low for years).

Long Mike reply :
Why do you start a poll by polling only for the length of the fish caught and then immediately asking WHERE it was caught? :
Make up your mind.

Also, I thought your largest bass was 8 1/2 pounds.

The world record musky; 56" @ 69lbs, my PB musky was 47" @ 37 lbs. and is my longest and heaviest fresh water game fish.
This musky was caught on light tackle fishing for smallies; 8 lb mono and 1/8 oz black hair jig. Spent many hours casting big musky lures and end catching this fish with my bass/walleye tackle, Lake of The Woods, Sabaskong bay.

I guess we are both wrong; 60" @ 67 1/2lbs, Cal Johnson is currently listed. I referenced the Lawton musky, now removed. You apparently referenced the Spray fish, also removed by the IGFA. However you look at it ; 54" musky is 50 + lbs, a trophy fish. Any photo's??

Spray's record musky was stricken from IGFA records when they learned that he dispatched the fish with a handgun
(common practice back then). All the same, the National Freshwater Hall of Fame still recognizes Louie Spray's record muskellunge
after a protracted dispute. As it happens, the musky taken by Calvin Johnson, a sports writer, is also under suspicion.
The whole musky saga is a sordid affair that casts poor dispersions on anglers and angling.
I believe I've photos of all the record muskies and will post them one day when the time is right.

Pinch the tail next time, 50" is a big ego boost.........lol
fishinfiend reply :
I accidentaly snagged a paddlenose catfish while trolling for stripers that was about 4'.
wisturkeyhunter reply :
Spray's fish is still the world record everyone is trying to beat even if it isn't official Alot of people out there that think it wasn't as big as reported also. I think the reason they took it away was cause he shot it with a handgun before bringing it in the boat. Its still listed as the state record for Wisconsin also. I pretty sure theres a 70 pounder swimming in greenbay it just has to be caught.
SammyLee reply :
Alright, my biggest fish was a shark of some type. My dad and I were bottom fishing for grouper when this 6 to 7 foot shark took my bait. I fought that thing for 20 minutes and when I got him along side the boat I asked the guide, "How are we going to get him in the boat?" He just smiled and cut the line.
Now, back to the real world of lmb. Maybe two pounds? I know, pitiful but I am just now learning to bass fish. My dream fish is swimming today, waiting.

I think your alligator gar was actually a long nose gar. We don't have alligator gar down here - closest is NW Florida.
