Re: Post a Picture and specs of the biggest fish you have caught
Good idea for a thread, but most impressive may be more interesting because it'll keep people from bragging about the 20 lb catfish or 60 lb shark they caught.
No pics but I cought a 43 inch striper fishing from the rocks up in Casco Bay Maine a few years ago. Didn't take girdth measurements, but I think it was a shade under 33 on the boga grip. Most impressive definitely a 9 lb bonefish on a flyrod down in Belize.

no picture of most impressive, but it was a 34 inch striper caught inside of that harbor that stripped the gears on my baitcasting freshwater rod when I was fishing for schoolies and had to hand line it in, I was also using clams because the sand eels were sold out

"stripped the gears on my baitcasting freshwater rod" The fish fought a lot and broke your rod? "I was fishing for schoolies" You were fishing for young fish? "had to hand line it in" You had to pull the fishing line in with your hands after the rod broke? "I was also using clams because the sand eels were sold out" Wtf you can use clams for bait?

Re: Post a Picture and specs of the biggest fish you have caught
per the striped bass length to weight chart at stripers online, a 43" bass could be between 25 and 35 pounds. since you caught it in Maine, probably after it started its annual massive feeding binge and before it's marathon migration to north carolina, it was probably near the top end of that range, so 33 lbs is a pretty good guess.
