My biggest salt water was a 250# stripped marlin, fresh water was the 75" sturgeon.

Probably some codfish but it wasn't much fun, you could hardly tell they were on with 500 feet of stretchy mono line.
Freshwater- close call between a 9 pound Walleye and similar sized channel cat... gonna go with the catfish though as he was a little longer for the weight.
I once tied into something on Lake Erie that calmly bent my walleye rod right in half and popped the 10 pound line like nobody's business. I had the drag set properly too, to start, but he was pulling it off so quickly it was coming near the end of the line so I had to tighten it up, and POP.....had to be a burbot, muskie, or sturgeon.0 -

90 lb yellowfin tuna
Now there is a fight! Tuna are the hardest fighting fish I have ever caught. I have not hit the 90 mark yet, but several in the 70-80 range.0 -
Hudson Canyon yellowfin tuna...
Yes those are some backbreakers. Got that one with a live squid. Odly enough the same one I caught the swordfish on earlier that nite.0 -
I caught a 43" Grass carp on a medium action Ugly Stick with 10# test. Not really much to brag about.
37" Northern on an Ultralite with 4# test. That took almost 20 minutes to pull off.
40" Sand shark is the biggest thing I have caught in Salt water. But I have only been about to fish in the ocean 6 times in my life0 -
Does 300# test mono,w/80# leader count? (handline) 0 -
