I always love this thread! It's always fun to see what everyone else is up to and which fish stuck out in their mind.
This year if had my first trip to Alaska. Been dreaming about fishing up there since i was in diapers. So tied for first place is probably the first silver salmon I caught. It was such an awesome fight and since I had chosen to go up there unguided it was also a HUGE relief that I actually could do it on my own. The tie goes to a fish I caught in southeast Texas in a saltwater lake. I was fishing for some little sand perch with my light setup for baitfish to use as bait when I got a lite bite. I set the hook and it felt like I hooked a log that decided to start swimming away. We were in the mouth of a canal and boats kept coming in and every time on did I was scared it would snap my 8-10lb test line before I could see the fish. Just over 30 minutes after the hookup I pulled in a 38" 28.25 lb Black drum fish. Biggest fish of my life so far. Looking forward to 2015 and all the adventures it brings! Hoping that the 28lber won't be biggest for much longer
