Heh, I myself am also a fisherman, and earlier this year i set myself a personal record: 8.25lb Brown Trout from a nearby lake. The lake is wild and self proliferating, and was caught on fly(yes thats right I am a fly fisherman) The pattern was a smelt fished fast and close to the surface: a wet, not my preferred form of fishing but conditions forced my hand.
Other Major Catches in my career:
25.2kg(55.9lb) Wahoo(A form of tropical Mackerel) Near Fiji on Lure: This fish was caught when i was twelve, and was taller than me(no mean feat, I am quite tall and always have been). It nearly pulled me overboard twice.
16.4kg(36.4lb) Spanish Mackerel In the Gulf of Carpentaria on Lure
15.2kg(33.8lb) Spanish Mackerel " " on Saltwater Fly(I even tied the fly myself, a variation on a pink thing)
35.8kg(79.4lb) Estuary Cod over a metre long from the gulf on Lure
All minus the Wahoo were caught this year.
Ill put up a couple of pics when I get a chance.
