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":

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.
Here is my biggest ever. 110# alligator gar.

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!

Mighty fine shooting there, Charlie Lamb!!! I hit 1 gar last year and couldn't hit another--6 misses in a row :knothead: Havn't found any yet this year---they sure are tasty!
These are great pics. Love it. :campfire: God bless.
The biggest I have photo'd. Shot last year from a moving canoe with my osage Brisky self bow. (http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o244/2crazyboys_photos/IMAG0562.jpg) (http://s122.photobucket.com/user/2crazyboys_photos/media/IMAG0562.jpg.html)

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
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:
not the biggest by far .
just an average night of michigan bow fishing
