my biggest catch was when i was 4. we where in lake powell the arizona side, and whil fishing for bluegill with my grandpa i caught a 3.5+ foot carp that was bigger then me at the time, we estimate his weight at about 14 lbs. we don't have any pix cause we didn't bring the camera for that trip. i have caught some 30+inch stripers from the same lake. i love that lake.
