my biggest catch was a salmon in Puget Sound, it was about 27" long, we didn't weigh it

WOW! Must've been an awesome fight!!!

I'm usually a freshwater bigmouth bass fisher, but I love trying to land a striper every now and then :)

That's a big fish - especially for fresh water!
Unless there's such a thing as freshwater striped bass, I think he was fishing in salt water ;)

I had a ~34in Northern on my line once. Man that thing was huge. I had it up to the boat twice but my brother spooked it with the net both times and it finally tossed the hook. I would have loved to have a picture of that thing. When I saw it coming up at me through the water it scared the heck out of me. I suddenly had flashbacks of Jaws. :)

Caught right off of Oregon Inlet, NC in the whitewash of the shoals...think Victory at Sea, it was that rough!

We we using light tackle more or less...the bitch of the whole deal was that I reeled in that 34 pounder and on the same rig was a 20 pounder. Took about 7 minutes to reel them in the boat. Needless to say, my arms were a little sore after standing, reeling, and trying not to fall overboard!
