I'm curious to see everyone's most impressive lands from every species of fish they have ever caught. I'm sure the veterans on the board are going to impress me most...but I'll start.

Saltwater:
Striped Bass:12lbs. Sheepshead bay, Bunker
Fluke:18" Marine Parkway Bridge, Bunker
Bluefish: 14" Sheepshead bay,Freshwater Rapala
Sea Robin: 19" Sheepshead bay, Freshwater Rapala
Bonita: 8lbs Coney Island Pier, Livelined snapper
White Perch: 3lbs (I tryed to enter this into records but since it was brackish water they didn't accept) Carmans River, Mepps spinner
Sea Bass: 4" SCORE


I've luckily never caught a skate or a dogfish ever. My saltwater experience is limited but I'm starting its certainlyyy way different then freshwater...

Freshwater:
Sunfish: 14" Erie Canal, Mealworm
Lake Trout: 9 lbs Cayuga Lake, Rapala
Yellow Perch 2 1/2 lbs. Waneta lake, Mealworm
Carp 42 lbs. Sunken Meadow state park, Snagged him.
Pickeral: 6 lbs. Peconic River, Spinner
Pike: 4 lbs. Lake Champlain, Spinner
Crappie 2 lbs. Waneta Lake, Mealworm
LMB 3 lbs. Cayuga Lake, Banjo minnow
SMB 5 1/2 lbs. Beaverkill, Nightcrawler
Brown Trout 3 lbs. Bubbles falls, Spoon
Shad:4 1/2 lbs. Delaware River, Shad Dart


Now it's your turn. I really want to be impressed. I really want to see what methods get your best catches I'm sure some bizarre stuff has happened to a lot of you guys out there.
