    I have a 10 lb largemouth on the wall.. Withlachoochee river in Florida..

    I have caught spotted bass in the 5 lb catagory…Alabama..

    and I have an 8 lb walleye that I caught in Canada..

    the year I caught the 10 pound bass.. I caught a 6 lber on the river and didn’t even think twice about dumping it back in the creek.. I didn’t realize just how big it was..

    my best smallie is about 4 lbs..

    I have lost that trophy northern numerous times.. Once because I had brand new XT when it first came out and was still using an improved clinch knot.. it was my last improved clinch knot ever..

    Actual caught and in the boat or the ones in my dreams. I’ve lost some world records there!

    22 pound Carp on a fly rod with a 3 lbs tippet
    51 pound Flat by myself (daughter stood me up on Fathers Day) R
    50 something inch Lake Sturgeon R
    30 something Shovelnose Sturgeon R
    Crappies and Sunfish…not sure of the size be they did taste good! NR
    25 pound Muskie on an undisclosed WI Lake that looked Yellow. R
    13 inch Brown Trout on a grasshopper pattern in August…just after 4 pm. R
    A bunch of walleyes but if you ask me I’ll never admit it.

    I got to hold 70 pounds of a 140 pound Alligator Gar once. That counts don’t it?

    49.5″ muskie

    29.75″ Walleye

    22″x13.5″ Sauger hard to take a good picture holding it yourself

    Smallie 22″ didn’t take a picture. Was fishing for muskies when I caught it, and was disgusted when I saw it was a bass.

    Crappie 14.5″ no picture wasn’t camera worthy
