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.

My best was 178, but the wife's best was 189. Hell, she even beat me on Sail fish sizes.

Not one damn pic after the OP.

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

That guy that shot that AJ years ago at the GRTR was a monster fish. If I remember right, he was a member of Hell Divers. Crazy SOB's.

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.

caught about 50lb wahoo on a light spinning reel fishing for chicken dauphin on a rip, that took a while. Other than that, probably various sized yellow fin caught over the years.

Biggest out of the gulf was a 165# yellowfin. We actually had another one hooked up that looked much bigger, but it pulled the hook. Biggest fish for me was an estimated 350# blue marlin in Cabo. It was the smallest blue we tagged that day, with the biggest tagged from that boat was an estimated 600#.

I’ll add a couple pics, but I mostly inshore fish. I’ve caught a few bigger, but no pics of them on my phone.

Don’t know the exact weight of this big ugly, because he easily bottomed out my 30lb boga. It took a while on 10lb mono & trout gear in a kayak.


As someone mentioned above, breaking 5lbs for a speck was the most excited I’ve ever been. It was also in a kayak.
