Seth Posted March 6, 2022 Posted March 6, 2022 My biggest Taneycomo rainbow caught in June 2005. It was 27" long and weighed right at 10lbs. Landed it on a white trout magnet and 2lbs test. There were three of them like that cruising around the docks scarfing fish guts that trip. A white magnet was the perfect match the hatch bait for the situation. It also had somebodies white power egg broke off in it's mouth when I landed it. Targetting gut eaters is pretty cheesy but I didn't know any better at the time. All I saw was a giant trout in front of me and I wanted to catch it. My ignorance on fish handling at the time also lead to the fish dying by keeping it out of the water far too long for pictures. I spent hours trying to get that fish to stay upright so I could release it but the damage had already been done. FishnDave, BilletHead, grizwilson and 2 others 5
Seth Posted March 6, 2022 Posted March 6, 2022 This is still my biggest paddlefish to date. I caught it right at daylight on March 15, 2009 on the James River arm of Tablerock. It weighed 80lbs. nomolites, BilletHead, Johnsfolly and 1 other 4
Seth Posted March 6, 2022 Posted March 6, 2022 The only time I've even caught multiple flatheads in a night. My buddy and I caught six one night back in the mid 2000s. Nothing big but they were all 4-16lbs. We would have been 18-20 years old in this pic. Johnsfolly, FishnDave and BilletHead 3
Seth Posted March 6, 2022 Posted March 6, 2022 Those are the oldest I can find on Facebook. Everything older would be a physical copy and stored somewhere at dads if they haven't been tossed out. Some may have been on Photobucket but that account is long gone.
