lets put pictures of your best fish here even if you caught it years ago who cares if its bragging everyone knows that people who fish always tell the truth about the size of fishi will try later to post a pic of a small shark that i caught in the 70's

No pictures, but I caught a 18 pound Snook on a fairly light rig about 15 years ago. I was fishing on bottom with cut mullet, much to the chagrin of my Florida cracker cousin. I was accustomed to 2-3 pound bass in Illinois, so when that thing started dancing across the water, I damn near had a heart attack.

a 20 pond dolphin and a 60 somin pound catfish

I believe the amberjack weighed about 90 pounds and the grouper 20 plus and the snapper about15 pounds. the biggest fish i caught was a 10' 8" blue marlin..i will try and find the picture..i have caught much bigger grouper and snappers but don't have pics..

Great looking fish bro. Wayne! I have caught some big ones at the 12 mile reef south of Key West. Also have speared many Hog Snapper.

The Yellow Tail is the one prefered by most Counch's!

How about this one

Not my biggest fish, but my biggest stripers. Both weighed 34 lbs. caught one of them as a double with a 25 pounder.

its a small picture but i am working on it
