Captain Maureen, my wife's biggest striper on a bluebird day. Released fish all morning this size. This one we couldn't revive and is on our wall. Wife's 10.37# fluke aboard Cibigma's current Parker 2520.

61” Wahoo. It broke my 50 lbs scale. I’m guessing it was 65-70lbs. I fought it for 40 mins with an International 50 Wide and 80 pound mono.

My biggest was this 333 lb blue marlin in the outer banks a few years back. I was lucky enough to get one good jump after setting the hook and she got tail wrapped after that first jump. Was one hell of a fight pulling her in backwards. Nearly severed the tail with the line and she was basically dead (so was I!) by the time I got her to the boat unfortunately.

Those are some huge fish. Did you keep and eat them?

Biggest on my ‘23 23SE
50lb Cobia(bled & weighted on official scale)
24” Sheepshead(safely released) I believe to be over 10lbs since I weighted one that was 22” 8.2lbs

That's huge! Congratulations on catching it.
