What the biggest fish you ever caught?

I prefer not to use money as bait. They get imprinted on it and that,s all they want.

The coloration seems off to me not to mention the dorsal fin shape.

Hmm about a 4 foot catfish in a pond. Same pond where I can a 2 foot carp. The carp was when I was with my wife fishing and she wanted to leave early. I guess the carp just ate the bait and didn't give enough pulls for me to notice it. I had a few rods for myself and my wife had two.

The reason why this pond is stocked with giants is because locals there would go fishing in different areas and dump big catfish here if they caught too many to eat I guess. I talked to one guy who was dumping fish in and he said he does it all the time and not to tell anyone since he can get in trouble for it. He said its either this pond or the trash lol.
