RE: Your fishing trophy
Myself personally the biggest I have caught has been a 4 lb. bass and a 12 lb. catfish.I dont fish that much. My brother-in-law caught a 12lb. 4oz largemouth bass 2 days ago. It was 28 inches long. I'll try to get some pics.

RE: Your fishing trophy
Depends on your definition of trophy. Biggest saltwater fish? Probably, the 5'6" barracudaI caught in Laguna Beach, CA. Biggest freshwater fish? A 26 lbs catfish I fought for at least 20 minutes on the Mississippi with 12 lb monofilamenttest line and spinning tackle(don't ask me howI did it, cause even I don't know, lol). Biggest trout? About 8-10 lbs. Biggest fish taken with my bow?A 12 pound carp. Most fish taken in one day? 43 smallmouth bass on the Juniata river in PA, all within six hours. Smallest fish ever? A 1 1/2" bluegill that practically choked on a bare # 18 hook, but still thought he wanted it, lol. All are trophies in their own way.

I caught a big walleye (don't know how big it was) with a 6 pound line in a river with strong current and the line was like 2 years old.
Smallest fish is probably about 3/4" minnow that I just barely hooked it. Actually I snagged it.

The biggest fish I ever caught was a 42" northern pike when I lived in Michigan. That was 15 yrs ago and I dont know where the pics are. I also caught a huge drum one time probably 36"-40". Now I mainly only trout fish.

RE: Your fishing trophy
Man, the main fish we fish for round here is crappie, bass and catfish. and although the catfish can get pretty big I cant imagine what it be like to try to pull in a big pike or walleye. Do these types of fish usually put up a good fight?
