Mine was a wild tiger trout I nabbed on the North Branch. Only my second one ever, and the first one I was able to photograph. They are gorgeous fish!

my 30lb carp for sure. Was the first day I ever fished for carp and with the help of saxmatt it was one hell of a success!

Next best would be my first Passaic pike, also the first I caught on a lure. I had been skunked the first 4-5 times I tried on the Passaic and finally got one this fall. I was happy as hell

I gotta go with this whole scene while fishing with Skunk, Barry and Eddie

I was tossing a small swim shad and hooked a perch around 6". While reeling it in something swipes, misses, then comes back and mauls the perch. Somehow i pinned both fish on the one hook. I'll never forget it.

All great fish and great stories guys, keep 'em coming.

Great catches all! Here's mine.........

First is my pb Pike. Great fish, better story, lol. Drove up to the shed for a day of bassin with my brother. Get to the lake only to realize that by rushing to leave, I forgot a very important piece of equipment, my trolling motor BATTERY!!!

Shot home, grabbed the battery and hit the river instead.

Then, fished past a down tree with no hits and kept moving. My brother hooks up with a decent pike, and in the process of CPR, we floated back down to the same tree. One more cast and CHOMP!!! Fought like a champ including a couple nice jumps. Funny thing is, I think I hooked up with him again later in the season and he got the better of me that time with a big head shake that sent the lure flying back at me!! I'll be lookin for him again sometime in 2014..........

Next was my "unofficial" start to the 2013 season. Wasn't the first fish I caught, but the first good one that really kicked it off......
