where did you catch your biggest fish and what did you use? i have 2, one was a 8 pound bass and my second was a 54 inch musky!!!

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

Huge Mako near Ocean City, Maryland, no idea about weight, on a "jig" made out of a Bud Tall Boy can and baited with cutbait.

Woops, sorry, this is a FRESHWATER thread, LOL.

Some notable local catches:

11# Bowfin

10# Drum

7# LMB

5+# SMB

22# Brown Trout

18# Steelhead

34# Chinook

18# Northern Pike

I caught an 89 lb spoonbill (paddlefish) in Oklahoma about 15 years ago. Not sure about the length, but it was over 60" for sure!

Sturgeon, St Mary's river, Michigan........no idea but a good 5 feet on a nightcrawler.

Many muskie on Lake St Clair in Michigan

Only 20-30 inches. It would be different if redfish counted  

43" Northern Pike <> Jig & Strip

8lb. Mudfish (bowfin), at a lake here in Ft. Pierce. 15 Lb. Aligator Gar in the North Fork of the St. Lucie River, And my PB 7lb. Largemouth, in another lake here.

48" musky trolling a spoonplug on small lake in northeastern Ill.

30-40 inches

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.  

43" striper caught in the delaware river. We were using live herring.

Mine is a 45' 25lb musky caught on the Potomac, on top water. Now that was fun!  ;D

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.

Caught 23" and 21" channel cats on a 4" soft shad and a crankbait, respectively.

16 lbs 4 oun largemouth bass caught on producto 8' purple worm at Lake Panasoffkee Fl

16 lbs 4 oun largemouth bass caught on producto 8' purple worm at Lake Panasoffkee Fl

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).

200# Blue Marlin

6.3# Bass

I checked 30-40". Not sure though. It was a 32 lb. catfish on a 1/4 oz. trap.

A monster blue catfish in NC while slow rolling a spinnerbait in 25ft of water! Well over 30lbs on my scale!

32 inch blue cat on a minnow.  fun fish.  

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.

35" ,25# flathead catfish caught at Lake Pleasant north of Phoenix Arizona. Caught on a Quantum Mantra reel and Quantum mediun weight rod with 12# test line.

Hmm, I bet that 8 lb bass wasn't longer than 54 inches!!!

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