nice fish brandon.....bet it made yer heart beat fast

Could be the 3# brown 100 yards down a mining shaft in small creek on a white grub or the 18#er channel cat from tributary of Erie Canal going into Lake Champlain or the numerous 50+ lb. carp always broke my 50 lb. braid as a kid or my feast on the fattest rainbow trout and small brookies from tributary of Meadowee river in headwaters (Vermont). Or that 1st 5#+ bass all where great, first 3 walleye from Sacandaga reservoir while trolling.

my most memorable catch was bout 3 years ago me and a couple of my friends were on my 16ft canoe that had a 35lb thrust trolling motor and we were trolling down the canal, i hooked into about a 4lb bass on a little crap pole i had, usually we don't catch any thing big, i got her into the boat and my buddy stands up to turn around and the next thing i no we were in the water and my pole was swimming away lol, i grabed my pole and swam about ten feet to the shore and got her off the hook and let her go, my canoe and takel box that was a diff storie, i lost $40 of lures but saved most of my stuff and the canoe floated, that would have to be my most memorable fishing trip

my most memorable was back in july when i hooked a 26 in drum while crappie fishing. it was th biggest drum i had ever landed. all the rest have beenn around 12.

My most memorable catch was a 20 pound carp at Edgewater Lake, Alabama.  I caught him off a dough ball near the shore of the lake, late at night.  In case you didn't know, Edgewater Lake is considered mainly a catfish lake.  I was really fishing for big catfish, but I was alright with catching carp, too.

Mine was a couple weeks ago. I was fishing for smallmouth bass on a local lake with a lipless crankbait, when I got a hit from a small trout, which was on the front hook when all of a sudden a huge smallmouth came after the trout and I caught both fish on the same lure. Now that was big fun.

ok i got to change mine i caught my first topwater bass this morning, a 2 pounder on a buzzbait. i think ill remember it for a long time.

I cought a 3 lb spoted bass when I was fishing for bream.

I cought a 3lb spoted bass on the banks of clarks hill

The bigest bass in the creek.Bubu .No one could find the rite bait.I watched a man clime a tree with a dead possum ,Ductape it to a branch over Bubu's warterhole as time passed and the maggots began to fall a natural suply of food started and one day after work I went to Bubus hole and noticed he was'nt there. After 5 years of expert fishermen,children,any one that could cast a line trying for this monster,One man I never met and saw twice in my life walked out of my fishing hole(Everybodies) with the trophy of a life time.Don't know what happen'd to Bubu buthe's probly hanging in someones den.I mist thoses times and that 1 in a million chance Bubu might strike but i still think about that fish from time to time and if there is one thing I learned fishing is more than a pastime. For me it's a freedom that keeps me sane with a friend or without. One great thing about fishing you can run into a Bubu and win or loose it's game on!

my most memorable catch or almost catch cuz i really didn't catch it happened like 2 months ago on my vacation in NC me and my brother were fishing off a pier a night when a school of bluefish started running about 20yds off the pier. i quick tied on a jighead and sea shad assain and tossed it out there. now within three cast my brother had pulled one in on a jigging spoon. i got one on within a couple cast too now i thought i had this one cuz it was on there for quite a while but i lost him and pulled up half a bait. so i quick put a new body on and casted out there this time i had one hooked, but to my disbelief he broke off. the bad thing was by the time i tied a new one on they where all gone. now this got me really mad but that's fishing and it just makes me want to go back again so this time i can catch a couple.

ya catch some you lose some that's fishing. but that's what keeps us fishing the story of the one that got away

I think My most memorable catch wasent mine. It was my6 year old sons at Hoffman park when he lucked into A 16 inch Rainbow. Ill never forget that look on his face.Wares a camerra when you need one.

Two great fishing days for me happened with my best friend and my Dad.  My best friend and I got permission to fish a very nice twenty acre pond.  I fished the front of the boat and ran trolling motor and he fished the back.  Very little cover so we just eased along the bank throwing spinner baits.  He fished a white bait with silver blades and I fished a gold bladed craw fish color.  It took us a about 2 1/2 hours to circle the pond in which I caught at least fifty bass several over eight pounds and nothing under 4 or 5 pounds.  My friend caught one!  At least I bought the spinner bait in his tackle shop--needless to say he sold out in the next couple of days and I bought the reorder.  On certain days they are hard to beat!  Till this day my friend says the man in the front of the boat has the best luck to which I reply but the man in the back of the boat has to be the best netter!  Tight lines!  I catch you up on Dad and I later!  Uncle Tom

I have caught a few fish and beat out a few folks much to the warming of my heart, but the most exciting and well remembered fish was a fish I did not catch. My son was 5 we had been fishing most the day in a creek and had caught few and there was a lot of time in between and we were fishing lures. He was getting fidgety and not being kind to his fishing pole like kids will when bored. I had seen some slurping on the surface so I told him to let me see his pole it was time to change tactics. I tied a #12 gray hackle on his pole and had had him flip it under a bush and along the edge of some foam. This 10 inch rainbow come flying up and grabbed his fly before it even hit the water, he let out a yell, slipped on the rocks and into the creek, kicking like a madman and yelling dad its a big one. I grabbed him by the collar and pulled back up, and him hanging onto his pole like it was a life line. That was 31 years ago and he still fishes with a fly rod and teases me for fishing with lures.

That is a tough one. Thinking about it several come to mind. The 6 1/2 lb smallie on light tackle, the 15lb+ pike with my wife in a rowboat,20lb+musky that my son had to go out into the lake waist deep and net.
