i caught a 3 1/2 foot pike a few years back. It was an awsome fishing trip with my dad and grandpa, we went camping and cooked the fish over a camp fire. Might be the best fish i've ever had

I worked down at a marina in NJ for most of the summer and the biggest I caught (in the bay) was 4 1/2 foot brown sharks, but one day I caught atleast 30 2 foot sand sharks because I was chumming for King fish. The biggest I've seen come from the bay was a 8 ft sand shark a guy caught with a 10lb test fluke rod and that's an amazing feat. It was an Ugly Stik which explains how the pole didnt snap when the shark took the bait.

Italian stallion- what town, and yes, ugly sticks are where its at.

Don Bosco- that is highly unlucky, the world record isn't over 10 pounds. for a black sea bass. Maybe a striper.

You guys with the sharks, they are actually more common than you think. I caught a 5 foot spiney dogfish last fall.

I have also caught a 18 pound bluefish, a 4 pound weakfish on one of those kiddie push buttons, a 29 inch striper on a penn powerstick with 7 lb test, and a giant skate, nothing to be proud of though, but it had like a five foot wingspan.

It was at Capt Mikes Marina in Little Egg Harbor Township. My mom's cousin owns it and I got to go fishing whenever I wanted. Yea sharks are easy to catch. We would go out and cut a half a mackeral, throw it on a huge combo and turn the clicker on and just wait. The best fishing moments of my life.

I forgot to include a 3 foot long cownose ray (maybe bigger) and a 3 1/2 foot eel

I've seen bigger Catfish then that...Thats not very impressive compared to some of the ones in Texas. I saw one where they had to use a truck to pull it out of the water. Its definitely a huge one for Europe, probably a record setter, but still.

Noodeling is the most fun you can ever have. Seriously.

But the biggest fish that i have caught is a 4 foot 112lbs Tarpon about 2 miles off the coast in Florida. Fought the thing for two hours and took the guide and my dad to pull it in the boat were it started pooping and peeing everywhere. The coolest fishing expeirence of my life.

how about like a sturgeon, wait is it stugeon....

the one that they thought was extinct with the dinosaurs but then found a few off the coat of Nova Scotia. Then they started popping up everywhere, including lakes and rivers. There is one in my Aunt's lake. It's a pretty big lake, Lake Of The Woods, just outside Kenora. They are huge though. Around 500-750 pounds and like 14 feet long.
