In my dreams a 1,200 lb tuna using 1 lb. test line.
In reality I would have to say a rather large baracuda when I was saltwater fishing as a kid. Don't ask how heavy or long it was or what type of equipment I used because I have no clue. All I did was just hook it though. Also was the same day I found out the hard way baracudas have teeth!
I normally catch good sized catfish in my hometown either at the river or mud canal. Usually in the neighborhood of 10-12 lbs. I did once catch a 2 1/2 lb. crappie. Doesn't sound like much, but that's pretty big for a crappie

My intelligence is like a suppressed rimfire pistol. You may not be able to hear it, but it certainly always hits its mark.

Actually, I don't even know. Like a ten pound bass that I let go, or a 16" flounder. Which is heavier? Probably the bass. I've gone fishing probably 20 times, never caught anything big, but always caught something. Except blue fishing, where they just bit my line 900 times because nobody could explain how to snap the line beyond grunts.
Over in Groton, CT there is a pier of interest for stripers. They have an oceanography center at the UConn campus there. Whenever one of their 2 big boats comes back in, they throw over whatever they harvested out at sea they feel is overpopulated and/or whatever died. This means huge amounts of big-ass stripers follow it in and swim really close to the surface. They will literally bite on anything. I have fed them rocks. You could easily just put a gaff into the water and come up with fish. Sadly, I do not eat fish.

About a 100lb bull nose dolphin (mahi ) using a 320 penn reel 50lb test with a 80lb steel leader 4o hook with a ballyhoo and a hoo chaser. I did a "flats slam" last week at Weedon island 22in red, 18in trout, 21in snook. I love fishing the flats out of my kayak. My boat is getting lonely, it only has seen me in April when I stayed in 10,000 islands for a week.
Don't look at me with that tone of voice !

The biggest fish I ever caught was a ~100lb. Ling Cod in Alaska. Fishing is my second favorite hobby, but I don't go fishing as much as I used to.
I've also caught quite a large rock whilst trolling for halibut. It was ~9" across at it's largest distance.
