Good, Big, Giant

[barbarian]

Watching a rerun of a fishing show and got to thinking after listening to them. When you’re fishing, what is your definition of a good one, big one and a giant when you set the hook and reeling it in? It’ll be different for everyone depending on tournament or fun fishing and region of country. For me it’s

Good one = over 2
Big one = over 4
Giant = over 6

[188Musky]

Dink: 2-14 lbs

Good one: 15-20lbs

Gooder one: 21-29 lbs

Big one: 30-39 lbs

Giant: 40+ lbs

Here in cent4al Illinois, I’d say a keeper 14 inch was a good one, a big one would be 3-4 and a giant would be over 5

I've always used that 2,4,6 rule as well.

2-4 good one, 4-7 big one and 7+ is a giant.

Similar here. Always a good time when you think you’re setting the hook on a bass and it’s a 40”+ pike or northern. It lets you know really quickly lol.

I really need a pic of me holding a gar for times like these.

Here at Clearlake 2 pounders are Rats. Need 5 lb average to play. Took 59+ to win the 2 day last weekend

They’re all gooduns. Some are just more better gooder than the others.!!

If I ever say anything it is "good one". Saying "giant", which I'd never do, is right up there with "game changer" IMHO.

Asked my fishing partner, she said 6,8, and 10.

[ProVle]

Dink: 2-14 lbs

Good one: 15-20lbs

Gooder one: 21-29 lbs

Big one: 30-39 lbs

Giant: 40+ lbs

This would work for Stripers, but have to raise it up for Catfish.

[Flabasspond]

Lived and fished in Florida for 49 years - Dink - anything less than 2 pounds
Good one- 4-6 pounds
Big one - 7-8 pounds
Giant - 9 pounds plus

Good one = over 2
Big one = over 4
Giant = over 6

I agree with this.

You need to quit fishing Fayette and catching those dinks.

Good one- 4-6
Big one- 6-10
Giant one- 10+
