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?

 

[Osohot]

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

 

[Classic P]

That's huge! Congratulations on catching it.

Has anyone started fishing this year, so you can add to this thread.

Not a recent catch but an unexpected sailfish on my 2120 30ish miles out of hatteras. Pre-kids as my 2530 doesnt see as much fishing now that we are family cruising more than fishing. Cant wait till the kids want to fish too.

47” Striped Bass caught on live Mac, on my 1989 2520 (sold last year).
