    What's the biggest freshwater NON-BASS you've ever landed??

    For me it's these:

    43" Musky from Lake St. Clair
    42.5" 36 lb King Salmon from the Grand River (2nd largest King landed in 2006 according to the DNR).

    About a 20lb Canadian Goose that assaulted my top water plug that was evidently too close to it's nest. That thing beat the snot out of me while I was trying to unhook it

    Caught a 36" buffalo fish on a light action spinning rod and 8 lb test line. What an ugly creature he was!

    Best on bass tackle was a 33# striper at Amistad on 12# line with a rattletrap. Most fun was a 26# chinook on a 9 wt flyrod/10# tippet on the Salmon River in NY. That battle was INSANE!

    My best was a 35 inch 26 lb ( I think) King salmon on Lake Michigan just north of the Indiana shore. I think the picture is in my avatar. Todd
