Biggest warm water fish

I think there are people in the Midwest who'd give up an arm for an 'eye like that! 

I think you are right! i have a few family members from north dakota that definitely gave me an earful about how undeserving I was to land it... lol

Man, these are some epic fish! I'll let this run through tomorrow before choosing a winner (give it a full week to make sure everybody gets a chance to throw their photo in). Thanks to everyone who's contributed so far!

Alright, I'm calling this competition closed. Full disclosure, I'm a terrible judge at fish competitions unless there's a scale to make the decision for me. I used to fish for carp for fun, so yeah, I'm impressed by pretty much anything.
The winner is.. drruuuummmm rolllllllll...
bubbagrump ! I pretty specifically remember struggling to reel in a five foot shark in the Atlantic from a 25' boat when I was 13 years old. I handed the rod off to my cousin because I couldn't handle it. Needless to say, that makes me doubly impressed by a 13 year old reeling in a sturgeon that probably weighed twice as much as the shark I struggled with. Shoot me a PM to claim your e-Gift card bubba!
To the rest of you, thank you for sharing your fantastic catches with the group. If you've got more, let's see 'em anyway! Let's give our friends on lockdown something to drool at and motivate them to get back out ASAP!

Well deserved bubbagump! That's a helluva fish for anyone to tangle with from a kayak, let alone a 13 year old!

full marks.
