My opinion on this is simple....it depends on the individual. Depending on what your biggest "fish" or striper or whatever the case by "your own" experience. I think 20-25 pound fish are pretty darn nice fish but I catch those pretty regularly. My own benchmark for big fish is any fish over 30 pounds. That is again, my benchmark. Others out there who catch 30 pound fish with regularity might have a benchmark of 40 pounds, so I really think it is up to the individual. 40" fish are pretty sweet, I love em'!
Just the opinion of BigFish.....not to be confused with big fish!
This BigFish however is 6'5" tall and a cheeseburger shy of 300 pounds.....

...now thats a BigFish!
