No monsters, but seen my share hit the deck....

86 lbs and change gutted - probably mid to upper 90's with his guts in.

I'll have to find a picture...caught him in 1995.

Yeah they are pretty, I've only seen two in the water. Hooked one about 5' on my 706 and needless to say I lost it, wasn't ready for how fast it was(drag too tight) and the other was just a snake and couldn't get him to eat before he left. The only fish i've seen that looks prettier is a sail swimming around the boat chasing my bait

They're even prettier under water. Haven't caught any personally but have seen one or two hit the deck. 50-60#

My 1st just a few weeks ago...modest 30# but hit like an 'ole frieght train.LOL

Still lookin' for one over 80. This 72.3 is biggest to date, although this was 1st place fish at Bay Point 2008 and won a nice chunk of change!

86lbs is my biggest as of yet. My only 80+ but have caught 3 more over 70lbs. Best single day total was 13 but all were smaller fish from 15-40lbs. I agree they are absolutely awesome looking fish. The pics below are my favorites.

My largest, 85 lbs caught late May '05 aboard the Lady D.
