...Whats the biggest fish you ever caught?
...Does not matter what kind.
...Bass is what I do mainly, but, if it swims, I LIKE IT!
...Florida strain Bass (Large mouth), if I remember right, was 8.9, not that big for all the time and money AND years Ive invested in chasing them!...but ALL worth it...[:D]
...Had LOTS of bass from fingerlings, to my biggest, 8's, 7's,6's ect. For years I went regardless of weather, twice a week, year round.
...Been snowed on, hailed on, and watched a tornado pass within a 1/4 mile of the boat once, caught a 7+ half hour later! Little lake up by Paris Tx's.
...ya'lls turn...

I have fished all my life. I have also raced cars(drag and stock) hunted and many things that men and others do though out life. BUTS theres one thing that I AWAYS have come back to and thats FISHING!
It not about catching them, its not about eating them, Its about fishing for them!
I caught one so big it filled the bottom of my 14 foot row boat. Another so heavy I had to land it using a SUV.[;)]
Was that Escape size SUV, or Expedition size?[}:)]

Not really, fake fish, but it LOOKS good, doesn't it?
The real ones. Would LOVE to do that again.
...Nice fish, I would "love" to do it too, great scenery, good fish, works for me...[;)]
...oops, add,"for all of of us that spend MOST of our time on fresh water, as some one will correct me on Texas being "land locked"...[;)]
Yup Alaska. Went to visit my "brother" there.
Fishing is one of the main reasons he lives there.
He took us out of Homer, where the pic was taken.
Had to have my arms feel like "jello" from fishing, at least once in my life.
They did. [:D]
remember - probably a Cabo Blue Marlin or a Mexican Golden
Grouper but I think I've gotten the biggest bug amongst my
buds! Cabo San Lucas, around 1990.[:D]
...Found some lakes further, I liked better too! A little lake in Arkansas, outside of Mena, Ark., not on maps, but it is awesome. No facilities of ANY kind, locals don't go, too many timber rattlers, and cotton mouths, and deer & turkey hunting is their main thing, not fishing. If you are skittish of snakes this is not the place to go, been in swamps, deserts, mountains, jungles, you name it, and Iron Forks has em all beat for shear numbers of poisonous snakes.
...Ever made it to Sam Rayburn? The "brown water" (from the tanic acid, I think) sucks the confidence right out of me. Never did like it. So maney places to fish, so little time...and then hunting and just shooting, I guees I'm a multi-tasker!...[;)]
Salt water: 9'Hammerhead shark Miami Beach, Florida 1981 mounted
we have a similarly dangerous lake here in cenla. its called saline lake. it certainly has its share of snakes, but the reason i dont go there is because you have some folks who have built duck blinds with drill stem. when they abandon the blind, they usually leave a section of drill stem behind.and usually its only out of the water by about 4 inches or so during regualr lake levels.i just bought a brand new ranger bass boat three years ago and i aint taking any chances[;)]
That is one BIG bug. [:D]
He lives in Anchorage.
