My best fish caught while out on the boat are mahi mahi up to about 20 lbs, a 20 lb barracuda (estimated weight since no way was I going to try putting that toothy beast on a deliar scale), a 10 lb rainbow trout, and a 15 lb king mackeral. Mahi mahi caught in the Gulf Stream between Florida and Grand Bahama, about 35 miles from the nearest shore.
By no means have I caught anything off my the size of Yukon's, but I am proud of the good size lake trout I brought up from about 60 feet down. I saw a school of them on the fish finder from 60-100 feet down. That fish was dinner for four adults, with some leftover.

Are the rules that you had to land the fish and get it back to the dock? Who's running this show?
Bob, did you take that home?
Ed.
Ya you don't bring a fish like that in a Mac cockpit. Harpoon it, cut its tail, gill it, tie it in bow and drag it back to the nearest dock (30nm in this case). We did take it home, I'll have to see if I uploaded the pics tomorrow and I'll post them.
36000kg humpback whale OH! they are a mammal not a fish and technically he caught the Mac so I guess that does not count
So 18kg Yellowtail Kingfish then

Whales are a serious concern of mine. We've had them under our boat on several occasions and a bunch breach within a hundreds yards. It seems every five years or so someone up here gets landed on by one or flipped from running into them at speed. Last one I heard of was a sailboat getting sunk in icy straights. People figured the whales have gotten so used to power boats that the whale didn't notice the sailboat (under sail) and just went about its business and jumped on them. Anchoring out I always lift the OB DB and rudders in case we get bumped. I figure the rudders would snap like twigs if one decided to get to close. That or getting the rudders wrapped up in the anchor line on a tide change.
