That's the place.

Last year on Sardis. Fish was a true Sardis pig. Easily 10+.

Many years ago at Bass Pro in Grapevine I shook off a 19 pounder! I was doing a demo in the tank using a new lure the still had the hooks (YOU MUST CUT OFF ALL HOOKS WHILE ON THE TANK AT BPS) - well, of course, the biggest fish in the tank ate the lure and swam around with it for a good while. I bumped the rod butt, strummed the line, and did everything I could to keep the hooks from sticking her. Well, she finally did let go and I got the new lure back in. I was certain that the Bass Pro Shop police were going to take me to the back room for the incident. The only result is that I get to honestly say that I had a 19 pounder on my line.

400+ lb Blue Marlin

big catfish at fork on a C-rig, got it to the boat and wouldnt fit in the net, even if it would have
I'm pretty sure two of us couldnt have lifted it,..I'm guessing 40 pounds easy..i felt like we were doing a
off-shore fishing show..

I thought i was pulling in a stick one time and pulled a bass up to the surface. When the head came up it opened its mouth and my fluke just fell out, then it slowly rolled sideways to give me a good look. That was the biggest bass I've ever had on,I'll say it was a solid 11lbs.funny thing is the hook was still texsposed in the back of the fluke...I set the hook on every think now.

So big I dislocated both shoulders trying to describe it one day.

I was T-Rigging rock and timber on the back side of Wolf Island on Ray Bob, and had a hit that almost took the rod out of my hand. Set the hook and she came right at me and past in front of the trolling motor, By the time I caught up with her I could not turn her head and it was over. With the great look I got at her my guestimate was 15#+. I have a 12.75# and this was so much bigger than that one.

Not sure how bit but I have had 3 on Fork that I could not turn or do anything with.

The latest one was this past Sunday. I backlashed on like my second cast with a wacky rig ... i got it picked out and reeled up all my slack line. When I got it reeled in my line was tight and one was running with it. So I set the hook and she was already under the boat. Then headed so the side and started pulling drag. Finally I got her next to the boat and she was huge. My friend had the net ready but before she got there she made one big surge under the boat an broke me off... It was atleast over 7 for sure but I'm not sure an exact weight.

I hate to think about it but pretty dang big. I sight fish a lot for big ones and I can say I caught the biggest one I have ever seen , so far anyway, so that at least is good.

the guide said over 17 because he and his clients already caught 38 over 15. Popped 30 # test. Florida

I believe I caught the biggest LMB I've hooked, in my sig. I have lost a 6+ smallie (Lake Wentworth, NH), lost a 40+ pound striper (Merrimack River, NH). I have witnessed my partner losing a freight train of a fish on a crank bait, just couldn't stop it, we never saw it but easily a SAL by the way it pulled

7-8 pounder bank fishing a NICE pond in Kansas with a jig-pig. That would have been an epic fish for the state of Kansas.

Actually the biggest one that hurts the most was when I was a kid a long time ago at Sam Rayburn - my dad let me take the boat from the ramp at Powell park out-I had to stay in the cove but I trolled out across to the mouth of the cove and threw a grape worm out- thought I was hung up but the line started to move, then a giant freak bass rolled up-probably 8 plus but to my eyes it was Jaws- she dove and started taking drag-12lb stren was doing ok but I got scared and tightened drag too much - she broke me off then- my family had a hard time believing my story. To this day I never never tighten the drag in a fight.
