Hey guys. I want to get a thread together of your best fresh & saltwater catches from last year. Can be multiples of the same fish, but post ones that you thought outdid your catches from the previous years. Weight and size if you can!
20lb 35" striper off a piece of snagged bunker
2lber
This one wouldnt stop moving, so it eventually landed in the sand off the hook. It was fine, nothing injured, slime coat still in tact. I recaught it a month or so later. 5lber, i believe you can see the length, 21" if i recall correctly.
5lber (same fish in the last 2 pics)
slightly over 4.5 lbs
Tiny turtle took my rapala!
Around 3lbs
First catch of the day in a friendly tourney, probably around 2lbs
yet another...
This freakin thing was a beast. He heated up my drag, it seized for .001 seconds and he snapped my brand new 7' medium heavy graphite rod. Oh well, it's a good story.
All the fish in the previous pictures with the acception of the striper were released. I fish at a private pond which some gentleman stock with their catches, so i only see it fair to release the fish which aren't mine for recatching and spawning next year. It's my favorite place to fish. I got my girlfriend into fishing by bringing her here. She caught the first 4+lb largemouth last year out of her, me and my buddy. Let's see your catches! I also caught a 33" striper right after the one i posted above, but i let it go. It was legal for keeping.
