My wife reminded me of one more but its no a fish, and I didn't boat it..I hooked it during a Tacoma Boat ( that shows how long ago it was) fishing derby out of Westport. No way could I have keep it though,,it was foul hooked.We figured its weight to be around 15 tons :yike: I even asked dad if he wanted to net it or gaff it?? :chuckle:  Yep y'all guessed it ,,it was a Humpback Whale  :yike:  Seeing that I didn't get it into the boat (18' Thompson) I guess it didn't count..

Dozens of 5+ pound bass in eastern Washington.  23 pound coho behind the Cannon Beach lighthouse, almost followed by one of the 2 dozen sea lions trying to nab our salmon on each hookup.

Oh, and several carp out of Long Lake that probably weighed 500 pounds a piece.  Probably a slight exaggeration, but those of you that know Long know those carp are freakishly big

I caught that bass when I was 17 or 18 and had to go by what the guy who took me out fishing said it weighed.  I'm sure it wasn't quite that big but somewhere in the neighborhood.  That killer whale scared the crap out of me and the 4 other dudes on the boat.  It took that king within 15 feet of the boat, turned and took off like a bat out of hell.
