Biggest fish you've ever caught.

[Peyton Price 17]

how big was the biggest fish you've ever caught? for me an 8-pound largemouth bass.

3 foot shark on a hand line. Was like hauling a boot. No action

Line weight record Musky. 33.5 inches and estimated weight of 20 lbs, landed after 2 hour fight on a 5 foot long micro light rod and reel so small it only held 150 feet of 1-1/2 lb test line with no leader. I had to jump into the river and chase him up and down the river (Fortunately it was a hot sunny day and the water was only about 3 feet deep) due the short line on the reel.
Unfortunately I was fishing for pan fish and Musky season was closed so I had to put it back in the water for another day, but the warden that was watching confirmed that it would have easily broke the record had I been able to take it in for official weight and measure.

I didn't know they let inmates fish?

A small trout stream just outside Mt. Lassen national Park-Hat Creek.
Been fishing up there since I was a boy.
This is my boy about 10 years ago.
Fast water, we had giant split shot-nickel size. =Closest thing I ever caught to the biggest fish I ever caught.
Every time I see this picture I just smile. His brother caught a bigger one that day but it got away. He's still trying to get over from the shame that his little brother caught the biggest fish.
