				Whats your biggest catch?
			 
 Mine is 160lb. yellow fin, but my moms got me beat with her bluefin caught on 130lb. dacron with no help (tournament rules)  
in just under 2hrs. She's holding the rod. 
  
120" length x 82"girth

				 | My mom didn't fish but mine is a 200lb blue fin caught last June at SW corner Stellwagon.  First time out in the new boat targeting tuna, trolled using a Penn 80VSW, a single Fisherman's Outfitters 4' spreader bar with 18" pink squid for 15-20 min before the strike.  Fight took about 20 min to land the fish.

 Not my biggest but probably my most memorable, a 175 lb yellowfin caught off Isle Montousa, Panama. This fish kicked my a$$ six ways to Sunday, the 90* heat and zero wind didn't help either!
 EC, great old-school photo, love it.

				 | got a 78" behind a scallop boat - second was a little bigger but we released her once we had the leader as only one over 73". Had plenty of meat that day as we where Tilefishing in the morning in the Baltimore Canyon then headed to the 30 line when one of our friends who runs a scallop boat called us and said the bluefin have been following his rig for 3 days. |
