Default Post Your Best Catches of 2013!

.

Hello Anglers!
It's that time of year again to post up your best fish from the year.

RULES OF THE THREAD:

1) This is a 'living thread' that can be updated at any time by anybody displaying a freshwater fish caught between midnight January 1 and Dec. 31, 2013.

2) "Best Catches" is defined broadly to include your biggest catches, fish you are most proud of and/or fish of great personal significance to you.

3) Posting pictures of fish does not obligate the poster to answer any questions concerning the catch, including where and how the fish was caught.

This is not an informational thread. This is purely a self-aggrandizing, fun picture thread.

I guess I'll go first as long as I am here.


I just caught this river monster the other week. I didn't measure him before I released him, but he looks big.









Caught this fat boy on a hot, sunny July afternoon. I was so excited, I forgot to measure him before I released him. He appears to be a solid 3+ pounds.

Had a good last week of May into first week of June with LMB. Here's a couple:

1st was about 4 lbs (Clark Res.)
2nd was much larger--prob close to 6 lbs. (Clark Res.)

Then there's:

3rd, was a first for me--catching a tagged brookie on opening day @ Milton Lake lol.

4th & 5th: my 1st Spruce Run wiper and 1st LH wiper during M&G on 10/13/13.

The rest were in the brine!

Oh wait... best for last... 8 lbs 13 oz... My baby girl on June 15th! Edges out the rest by a WIDE margin--hands down!!

Biggest true strain musky, 47 inches. Biggest Tiger Musky, 42 inches. Biggest pike, not sure how big. Biggest smallie, not sure how big. Didn't do any walleye fishing yet this year, but I got a few on musky lures.
