I'll take 25 pounders any nite. I think the fish from 20-30# fight the hardest.

For some it sounds like the only thing that matters is catching and only large at that.
I'm just glad that I'm ABLE to fish.Ask someone in a chair or missing an arm what matters.
Sixty-shmixty,I'm just glad to be out there.If the cow of a lifetime comes along then fan-freakin-tastical,if it doesn't then it doesn't.Of course I'd love to catch a giant but its not the primary concern.
Enjoy what you have.There may come a time when you can't.

Fish are fish. It's really cool to catch something on the larger side, but I'm happy with anything and everything. Maybe it's because I've pretty much just started to fish...because every time I get a hit -- whether or not I can set the hook, whether or not I can land the fish -- it's just SO exciting to me. And we're just talking fish, but if I have a good day out on the water with a fishing buddy, it doesn't matter if we catch anything. I guess I'm easy to please.

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.

Fist legal surf bass
I remember my first legal surf bass as well or better than any of the fish I've caught , 22lbs and it was awsome. I remember the first pick up and run i ever got even though I didn't land the fish, never fresh water fished again after that!

I know I'm going to regret saying this, being irish and all, but Size Does Matter.
I'd rather have one large than a bunch of small.....I still have fun fishing no matter what I catch but I would rather catch that one large one instead of a bunch of small ones.
