Who's got the biggest one?......Fish of course!

[Gingerbreadman]

I can't help but to notice some very nice pictures in this site! What are some of the biggest fish you guys have caught? Did any one catch anything close to the records? I'm new to walleye fishing and my biggest is around 22 inches. Maybe some day I can catch something worthy of the wall.
So tell me.....Who's got the biggest?

The biggest walleye I have caught is 27 1/2"!
In Cass Lake on a black 1/8 oz. jig and leech.
Many 26" and smaller. Can't break the 28"+ barrier for nuttin!
Had 10lb. eyes at the boatside only to have the hook pop out just before getting netted.
And that was when we were in a pontoon!
Caught alot of 26" eye's in Mille Lacs when the bite was hot!
First walleye I ever caught was in Lake Osakis (1969) when we were trolling for pike. I was using a #5 gold blade-bucktail Mepps spinner.
I weighed 6 pounds. Came in like an old boot cranking it in with a heavy duty pike rod!

Biggest fish I have caught ...but not landed would be the multiple occurances I getting the monster pike on when fishing for panfish. I have never landed one bigger than about 14# but have lost 3 huge ones. At least 2 were when I was alone but the third was when my wife was along. No getting out of that one. To regain my top notch status I then proceeded to hook in to the biggest walleye I have ever landed!! 31.5" and 10#.

My wife's is her first lake trout last summer. 34" and huge and fat! she did not lose this. My first laker was bait!

My 'eye would have to be 32" 12 pounds caught on LOTW ice fishing. It happend to one of the three fish we caught during the entire trip. She is still swimmin for one of you to catch!

My best fish of any species would be a 100+lb Sailfish in Tamarindo, Costa Rica last winter.

Keep em coming, but lets not get out of controll.

Biggest 'Eye is 8.5lbs. Out of Basswood Lake
Largemouth, 10 lbs, Lake Norman, NC.

Oh, and a Stingray I caught while I was in the Air Force, stationed at McDill AFB, Tampa FLA.

32in walleye

MY biggest walleye out of minnesota was 29.5" with a 2-27" to follow it up.
In minnesota my biggest is a 26" eye, I caught that on opener last year at 3:00am. Probably one of most memorable fish I have caught so far.
My biggest fish, weight wise, was probably a 16 lb Pike that I caught last summer. Otherwise I have caught a 20" smallie, a 22" bucket mouth, and some really nice panfish.
All of them fish mentioned above have been released, im still waiting for that perfect on to mount.

------------------
And keep those hooks sharp!

My biggest walleyes came in the same weekend, a 32.5" the first night and a 31.5" the next. Biggest bass is 23" (just over 6 lbs.). Biggest crappie is 1 lb. 15 oz. Biggest northern is about 18 lbs. Biggest muskie is 53" X 30" and by some calculations would have beat the current record of 54 pounds. All fish were released except the crappie. I caught that when I was 8 years old and my grandpa mounted it for me. I may get a replica of the muskie when I have the $$$ for it some day but for now I will settle for the pictures. All fish were from Minnesota.
