Title: Let's See 'em! Your Biggest FISH!
Post by: BEN on June 25, 2013, 07:22:00 AM
Lets try this out.  There's always a thread about biggest/best/favorite pics of deer. pigs, etc...
SOoooo, why not for fish?  :D    

Would love to see some of the big Alligator Gar from you down south folks!!  :readit:  

Your fish doesn't have to be a huge fish---heck if it's your 1st., thus your biggest, then show it!   Lets have some fun.....  :campfire:  
So to start things off, a pic of my biggest fish, a Drum or "sheepshead":

My younger brother's big carp:

Not my first ever, but my first that year.
I went to a friends Horse pasture that flooded and walked the edges for about 30 seconds when I saw a wake headed my way. I waited and busted the big 34" dude on the bottom right of the picture.
The 2nd one about 2 minutes later was only 31"
Fun day.

My Biggest, my Smallest and my only one! And I got it the very first time I ever shot at a fish! I think it makes me look fat though in this picture, lol! I hit a couple of others on this trip, but they pulled free!

I believe they are bighead carp, not silvers. It's my understanding that the bigheads get MUCH bigger than the silvers

Yes, they are Bigheads.

My bad...I thought the 2 names were the same fish actually......don't have them around here...yet.....  
My brother in my first post goes to school in Nebraska and shoots them there.....

Also, never seen a golden carp that size!

Charlie, i have had doubles and triples but never have I shot six in one shot!  Outstanding   ;)    :rolleyes:   Which barrel were you at?    :biglaugh:

I have not shot a big carp with trad gear yet.

Most are this size.

Jeff,
      That is something I have been planning to do for about two years, fell through last year. Can you describe your gear, and, did you use a broadhead or bang stick/gun at the end? what are the regulations on shooting sharks in your area? Thanks
Title: Re: Let's See 'em! Your Biggest FISH!
Post by: BEN on June 27, 2013, 07:18:00 PM
Whoa! Jeff is the winner so far.....
What ever happened to "Ozzy Clint", I think his handle was....from Australia? He has some sharks too.....

"Stone Knife"----that is a beast of a carp! Been eating good   :cool:
