Your Biggest Fish?
What's the biggest fish you've ever caught?
10lb Bluefish. 23(give or take)lb Striper.
What about you?

I have many awards, I've been awarded the good fortune to fish with a lot of good and knowledgeable people. 3 or 4, the amount of awards I would have one in various clubs that I did not weigh a fish in because I let 'em swim away.
IN some cases awards might be nice, and some it isn't. Redlite winning OTW S-C AOY out of a thousands of anglers - that's pretty cool. Winning an awarded for larges Blackfish amongst a throng of good blackfishers, cool. Winning an award for largest club scup, well, Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder I guess

Nate - take your foot off the gas pedal a little. Sit around and soak things in, your dad will 'splain....
Seriously though, welcome to S-B. There is a small reason I have more posts than your dad, he still has more posts per day than me though 
I think we've met once or twice. You taller than Knucklehead yet ? |

Yes, I say that as a good natured ribbing - I saw him a few days ago. |

Ask your Dad about my biggest, he was there..

He needs to shrink. My 16 year old brother is 1 inch shorter than Dad. I think it's funny.

I once fished in a contest where we used 23 foot rods to catch fish shorter than the distance from your wrist to your finger tips. All the fish were so close in size we decided we had to give the grand prize to the guy who caught the most. The prize was a single bottle of beer. But it was a big bottle !! At least a liter. The winner cracked it open and we all had a half a glass and toasted the winner. That's the best kind of fishing contest!
BTW this all happened a 4 hour drive to the north west of Shang Hai , China.  |

Hi Nate. Welcome to my world. As JohnR said just sit back and read a little and try not to post too much.....(listen to he of 16,000+ posts)  Just spend some time seeing how things roll here! Nate is my youngest folks....he is a great kid and a darn good fisherman!  Nate is 15 and likes to chit chat. There used to be a forum on here for some of the younger members.....maybe JohnR will bring it back as we do have alot of younger fisher people on here??
Enjoy Nate! |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Hey Nate. My biggest was a 41" caught under a wharf. (don't know the lbs but fat)It was such a blast to slide it outta there after a crazy fight. Slipped him right back in and hope he's still out there. Some of my most memorable have been half that size caught in tidal rivers on a fly rod.

Welcome to the site, Nate!
My biggest was about 34 pounds, but it's not very memorable. I have many other fish that I remember much better either because of who I was fishing with, or the circumstances under which they were caught.

After a few sessions in the ditch, and they'll be talking like sailors 
There's the noteable accomplishments like landing your first keeper of the season, or first 30, 40 or 50lber.
Then there are the more personal accomplishments like catching a trout or striper on a flie you tied yourself.
I bask in the glory of catching anything, or watching a newbie hook into thier first keeper. I get as much joy out of helping others enjoy fishing as I do actually fishing myself.
The key is to get out there and wet a line, everything else will come in it's own time and place. |

Hi,
I met your dad a few years ago, fishing. So Nate, do you think you will "break" your "personal best" record this season ?
