I went Tuna fishing while in Hawaii. Nothing huge, but bunch of 30-40lb yellowfin tunas. Before that, caught a 30lb Amberjack in the gulf of mexico.

I don't have any pics of it, but I was fishing a wreck 30 miles out of Boca Grande called Bayronto, and brought up a huge Goliath Grouper. I have no idea what it weighed, but it was EASILY over 300 lbs.

I've caught a lot of Goliaths over the years, but that was the biggest one I've ever gotten to the boat.

We used to fish with Charlie Hardison’s folks in Fourchon before he died and after for several years before Katrina.
Had a big fish kitty and I had a 49 lb cobialinglemonfish. One of the ladies had a 49 1/4 lb snapper.
Pics are somewhere. Wish I could find them.

39lb catfish out of the pound behind the house.

Was sitting there watching my buddies fish off the pier. Grabbed a spool of 45lb test, of it on a hook, wrapped a few feet around my hand, put a while hot dog on the hook, and dropped it in the water.

Just trying to be an a-hole because I was tired of fishing. The second that hotdog hit the water, the damned fish took it. Shredded my hand. Couldn't let go.

Drug it up on to the bank.

Terrible terrible idea.

135 lb Tarpon. Official GITR weight. Not big for the Rodeo, but enough for the board that year.

70 pound amberjack. Felt like my arms were going to rip out of my shoulder sockets. Fished them once and only once.

Caught a big tiger once. Didn’t get a weight but he was 12 ft long. Probably around 7-800#.

Years before camera phones, but I think my buddy has a pic somewhere.

Not one damn pic after the OP.

I’ll have to see what pics I have, before making any claims.

Saltwater: 63 lbs amberjack. I do have a picture of it somewhere. But this was back before iPhones and digital cameras. It’s in a photo album somewhere.

Freshwater: 48 lbs blue cat in Toledo Bend. Same as above, I’d have to dig it out of an old photo album.
