You are disqualified from the thread, by starting with a fish caught on a powerboat.

I don't have pictures of my longest/heaviest fish caught from the kayak, but they all had wings and went over (by best guess) 4 feet and upwards of 50 pounds.

Best target species of 2015 for me:

You had a great year John V.!

Thanks. It was a good year with 38 species (five of them were new-to-me species) and nine personal bests. That is all history now. I started off my 2016 list this afternoon with one species (pickerel).

Haha, yeah, fish caught from the fiberglass jetty never count

Found more of them then I wanted this year too! Butterfly rays take it to a whole other level though

This has been my best fishing year to date. Lots of awesome trips and fish put in the boat. I've met lots of great new folks on here and enjoyed time with longtime friends.
