The biggest fish I’ve ever caught I believe. Scale was at 21 but I think his tail was on my leg...hard to weigh something that long in a kayak at night. The flathead ate a black/blue jig. Also got my PB freshwater drum (sheepshead) at 8.5lb on a dt-10 . PB smallmouth on a super spook jr and biggest non-swimbait largemouth was on a drop shot lol79F85F22-E1DC-481C-8A88-B554FE787364.thumb.jpeg.5da83b4106e2154ed82551a4007eddf1.jpeg4E6DE8EC-A4AE-4F59-856B-306BD355E321.thumb.jpeg.6dfdfd90467e7bff6f6331171900e26d.jpeg

2020 was a year of many firsts for me. This was the first year I actually put some time in with a frog, and it landed me my best bass for the year weighing 5.39lbs. This was also the first year I tried fishing for salmon, and I hooked into this 35inch - 17lb chinook on a jigging spoon. Both fish were caught using my Fury 795/Cardiff 300 swimbait setup :lol:

Here is the 7 pound 7 ounce LMB that I caught on the Harris Chain of Lake on a 10" worm. It was tagged by FWC and was worth $100 when the tag was returned, which is the money I used to get into swimbait fishing. My PB was shattered on this day, previously only 4 pounds 3 ounces.

I got a 8.8 pound largemouth on a Keitech finesse jig in North Carolina which was my PB, and a 5.4 pound largemouth in Brooklyn on a Jackall Fivoss Free Rig, which was my Brooklyn PB.

Got my first shark over the summer! Super pumped! Hooked up a few more but couldn’t stick em. One fish it ran so damn hard and fast Had 500 yards of 80 braid.  I almost got spooled. Felt the fish’, pop goes the hook. 
 

got my biggest striper of the year on a 4 inch savage gear “storm shad” like bait.   Got that March 9th up here in Ma. Got it on my finesse freshwater rod with 10lb braid.  Certainly wasn’t expecting to Hook into such a fish. 
 

got the nice bass the same day as the shark on a whopper plopper

This is my biggest of 2020 and truly my PB. She went 6 on the dot. Caught her on a Strike King KVD 10” bull worm in plum apple, rigged on a 3/0 worm hook and an 1/8 ounce weight. Was on spinning gear too in the middle of summer. I think the water temps were around 93 degrees that day. Really hadn’t committed to throwing swimbaits yet especially during tournaments. Hopefully I can upgrade and catch a biggin on a swimbait this year!
