Ok,
Something in the trolling fluke thread made me think of this;
What if any fish would in your mind equal the level of acomplishment (or luck) of taking a 50lb striper for different species?

Some of my thoughts by species;

Blackfish; I have a PB at 14+, with some other 12's and 13's, and I'm not sure where I'd put that mark for these guys... Somewhere in the teens I guess...
personally anything over 15 will be mounted, and my ultimate goal would be 17.5 (My fathers PB from the 70's)

Fluke?? To me (I dont do a ton of Fluking) Anything over 10 would be a monster to me, but I think to equal the 50lb mark, I would say anything over 12...

Bluefish... probably 20lbs

Thats about all I fish for around here; other species? Cod, pollack, etc...?

Hope this is a good thread....
