This is my biggest freshwater fish. Sadly, I did not get a measure. The big girl gave me a lot of problems in the net and by the time I got the hooks cut, I was more concerned with letting her go than getting a measure. Plus, it was only the 5th musky I had ever caught at the time and I had no idea how big it was until I showed the guys in the club. A lot of musky sharpies told me this was most likely a 50+ inch fish and it was probably over 35 pounds.

Four pound largemouth at Lake Gaston. Four pound largemouth at Merril Creek the weekend it open for business. Three pound brook trout from the Pequest. Not what you all have done but it made me happy at the time.

Like most, my biggest FW fish was a Carp... Never weighed one, but I have caught some huge ones in Cayuga Lake and the Susquehanna River up here.

Several honorable mentions however...
My biggest Brown Trout was 11 lbs, caught on a white painted 1 oz wheel weight off a car.

Couple of Tiger Muskies in the 38 in, 12-13 lb range.. one caught on a 1/32 oz Crappie jig...

Couple of 8 lb + Landlocked Atlantic Salmon out of Cayuga,.. Thats pretty big for this species.
Couple Channels Cats in the 10 lb range..

22 in, 7 lb + LMB...


Pretty mundane really, but at the time they all looked like whales to me...bob

I have had some big carp through the years and got a really nice striper on the Raritan in South Bound Brook a few years ago. Biggest recently would have to be the Cat fizzzzzz.
