What is your personal best fish (weight and length) in several species??

[keep6matt]

Lets see what everyone's personal best catches have been as in fish species including weight, length and if you want to disclose where it was caught (optional). The winner gets a glass of water and a toothpick!! Joking.

Here are mine:

Best Pike: 22 lbs x 46" caught n released at Colin Lake 2012 (yes released, have an 18 lber on wall)
Best Perch: 2 lbs x 15.5" caught n kept long ago at Missawawi Lake 1985ish??
Best Walleye: 11 lb(+) x 33" caught n released at Calling Lake several years ago prior to slot size at Calling (have a 10 lb already on wall...so whats the point of keeping another breeder)
Best Burbot: estimate around 10 lbs and 30ish" at Goodfish Lake many moons ago
Best Lake Trout: 16 lbs x 30" at Cold Lake, 2013
Best Bull Trout: 12 lbs x 33" at Kootenay River near Radium, 2008
Best Cutthroat Trout: under 2 lbs at Kootenay River, same time as Bull was caught.
Best Rainbow Trout: 7 lb+ x 24" at Lake X, 2013
Best Brown Trout: 8 lb+ x 26" at Lake X, 2013
Best Brook Trout: Under 2 lbs and quite small LOL
Best Arctic Grayling: weight unknown but it was 15.5" at Tumbler Ridge River, couple years ago, have replica on wall
Best Sturgeon: figured it was approx 60+ lbs and well over 4 feet long at NSR before 911 era, and of course caught n released.
Best Sea Fish: A barracuda that was probably 3 feet long but a 8 ft bull shark grabbed it about 50 yards behind boat and I landed the front half of the fish, lol, will post pic one day, was quite exciting!

Unfortunately no bass, muskie, crappie as of yet however I did a taxidermy mount on a small mouth bass from Island Lake back in the 80's from Smoky Lake area. Lets see your bragging board and pics if possible. Have a great day!

[pickrel pat]

Ill tell you about my best single days fishing...... Thurston lake. About 1985. No less than a dozen pike between 40 and 50 inches.(back then it was more about weight rather than length). This was in june. The year before old edwin walliser pulled in a 30 lber. Used to go to tapawingo lodge on bistchoe lake when jack halverson had it. Great fishing but didnt compare to thurston.

Not a chance at even coming close to some of the brutes already shown but, 2- 13 lb pike, one through the ice at Calling lake last year, one in open water on Pinehurst many moons ago. A 8lb walleye from lac st anne many moons ago. Some big rocky mtn whites over the years, never weighed. All released. Some real nice fish being posted, congrats.

Bonus points to anyone who even knows what these fish are - I'll keep it to freshwater only.

[schmedlap]

I just realized, looking at all this, that I've gotten pretty lazy in terms of actually trying to get the big ones. Have to unchain myself from that desk more often. All of these have gotten rather far back in my increasingly foggy memory. Nothing is less than 10-15 years ago.
Walleye, 9.5 lb, 29.5", Tobin
Pike, 46" (not weighed), Seibert (it was skinny, and I've caught heavier ones, but that is the longest)
Perch, 14" (not weighed), Blackett
Chinook, 23 lb., Ucluelet
Sockeye, 12 lb., Sooke (apparently a really big one for this species?)
Brown trout, 19", 3 lb. +, Shunda Creek (goddamn the real monster that spooled me and escaped in the Bow!!)
Cuttthroat trout, 21" (not weighed), North Ram
Rainbow trout, 24" (not weighed), Bow (Immediately, second cast, after the big brown spooled me, and I reloaded - justice?)
Grayling, 22" (not weighed), Yukon
Lake trout, 12.5 lb., Yukon
Brook trout, 19", 3 lb. +, 1966 Wildwood Lake, right in Dartmouth, NS (I was 12)
Bull trout, 5.5 lb., Unnamed creek - beaver dam, Sundre area
Burbot, 8lb., NSR
Mahi-Mahi ("dolphin"), 42 lb., Mazatlan
Striped Bass, 32 lb., Annapolis River, NS (1975, among 5 caught in 1.5 hours totalling 119lb. - my best day ever in fishing terms)
Rocky mountain white, 22" (not weighed), Wapiabi (we should have weighed some of the fat brutes we pulled out of that whirlpool that day dunking nymphs - fat and maybe close to "record" - but all released)
Lake White, 6.5 lb., Smoke Lake
Sucker, 7 lb., Tobin
Many, many much smaller fish of various "non-game" species.

Except for the few that are devoted or lucky enough to be able to pursue this passion "full time" that's probably not bad (?).

John, I kid you not, You are the proud new Owner of the new World Record Pink Salmon.

They do ? I keep reading posts of folks fishing all over the country / world .

John, I kid you not, You are the proud new Owner of the new World Record Pink Salmon.

Serious ? I knew it was good fish but never thought that good . There were guys catching them bigger than that one beside me .

The current world record Pink is around 14.5 lbs. I have been wrong lots before, but a 37 inch salmon would likely hit over 20 lbs.

Edit - just checked Wiki and it says:
"The maximum recorded size was 30 inches (76 cm) and 15 pounds (6.8 kg).[2]"

Again, I've been wrong lots before, but perhaps you were catching Chum?

WELL HOLY POOP .

I wonder if them other guys knew that . Top it off we were fishing off that discovery pier in Campbell River . There were 1000's of fish . Well Hot damn .

Nope 100 % sure they were pinks .

[Albertafisher]

Can I play?
Bonus points to anyone who even knows what these fish are - I'll keep it to freshwater only.

Murray cod, 1m ~60lb (not weighed)

All fish caught from a kayak.
I've just moved to Edson so looking forward to adding some Alberta species to the list.

I love Australian fish species! Have you ever caught a queenfish? I heard they are amazing on a flyrod..
Great fish & photos!

Hate to break it to you but had to be a smaller Chinook salmon. They are often mixed up. 20lb Pink's do not exist unfortunately, or else a lot more people would target them. Either that or it wasn't 37". Love them fresh on the bbq though.

The location and description of the fishing experience sounds to me like typical Pink Salmon fishing...
Forgive me for being sceptical, but beating the previous WR by that big of a margin doesn't sounds quite right? I must see this fish!

[Serengeti Charters]

I want a nice big Brown, a triple digit Halibut, a nice bonefish, a marlin and several tuna... That I will land and immediate sushi out!!!

Mans gotta have dreams...

Can quite easily set you up with one of those. This year it would have to be C + R but still a great accomplishment. Halibut over 100's are pretty common with us out of Port Hardy. :)

I know what type of fish it was , and was measured from tip of mouth to pinched tail . Im not a beginner . LOL I don't even think I have any pictures that survived my old lap top mother board frying either well #@%$ . I had all sorts of pictures . Will have to go thru my facebook pictures . But pretty sure I didn't put any of them on there . :-(

I've caught small queenfish but never a big one. I've seen them caught and they really go off. Lots of jumps.

Tarpon are also great fun and jump lots. Highly sought after on fly. Unfortunately, the Aussie ones don't frow as big as the American ones. 80cm is my record and one of the biggest I've heard of.

Just a small one.
