Beats me by over 9 lbs.
It's been so long I'm not completely sure what this one fish I caught looked like but I think it was a walleye. My dad and I were out in a little 12' aluminum boat and I caught a beauty of a fish. We put in in a collapsible metal basket with a spring-loaded lid. It was hanging over the side of the boat tied to a stringer and we forgot to pull it in when we moved. The water forced the lid open and my fish swam away before we got the basket in the boat. I never caught another fish like that in my life. I've caught perch, bluegills, pumpkinseeds too I think, suckers, and at least one bullhead. I remember a bullhead swallowing my hook so deep I couldn't even get it out with a long plastic-handled hook disgorger. There are rainbow trout in the creek downhill of my brothers' cabin but I never fished it. I wasn't a good fisherman but I was the only one in my family who ever caught a redhorse sucker. The fins and tail were pink, or was it red? They aren't called pinkhorses.
When I was a kid sometimes we'd ride our bikes a few miles over to the dam and catch carp. My friends' mom fried some up with butter and lemon, and fed them to her cat/s. I don't think any of us ever ate a carp. I know I didn't. One day we were throwing carp on the road over the dam and watching cars run them over. Cheap entertainment right there, especially when a bus drives by. One guy saw the carp on the road and did a burnout on one. Skinned it instantly. If there are any rednecks here thinking about jacking up your car and sliding fish down a ramp to skin them, do me a favor. Get video of it.
