Your biggest bestest fish of 09

[the dude]

I'm still pretty stoked on this one that I got in July:

[rogersmith]

it was a pretty good year, fished the bays allot, won my first tournament [OEX night tourny], caught my first WSB [juve in the bay!] and enjoyed setting up and getting used to a new yak. The picture is a Miramar LMB. Not a huge fish, but I am learning the LMB scene and I find Miramar tough to coax fish from.
Happy New Year and tight lines everyone

120 lb Yellowfin Tuna from my kayak at Hannibal bank Panama. Took over three hours to land.

I think I will have to pass on this one. If you combine the weights of all the "big" fish I caught this year the total does not come close to the monster WSB that Bigbarrels caught.

Maybe next year.

Thirties, forties not that big. The larger fish looks huge because it's really long with a huge tail but it was a very skinny fish so it didn't weigh that much for it's size.

I'm happy with my fish but that fish of yours has to be the coolest fish I saw caught this last year. Must of been just delicious on the table.

It was a wierd looking YT! 38 inches long and 40# 2oz. The guys at Dana Landing couldn't stop taking pictures of it on the scale. The meat was super fatty and some of the best sashimi I have ever tasted. I will post up what was in his belly.
