G14 Classified!
LOL! Sorry, saw Rush Hour!
If sharks don't count, I would bet it would be a cobia. Didn't someone land a 80#er in recent years?
Biggest kings on the old pier were a couple of 50#er's, Dennis Rice caught one of them, not sure who caught the other. Don't think a 50# king has been caught on the new pier.
Yea i Say Cobia would be biggest but on old pier there is no telling...
there was sails caught on the old pier and also people landed sharks so theres no telling...
The ONLY sailfish caught on the old pier weighed 45#
To my knowledge no cobia even near 100# has ever been landed on the GSPPier (a few over 50-60# though)
So I'd have to say the biggest (excluding sharks) would be a tarpon.
I know Chris Eberly landed one in July 1978 that weighed 110#
One of several over 100# landed in the days before any limits were imposed on them.
bobby colquett was the name of the guy that landed the sail i think correct me if I'm wrong
This is why I love this forum!
My guess would be the hammerhead that was caught long before I started fishing out there. I believe that is the reason that shark fishing is banned out there.

OK....I'll bite, at my own risk. What's a "tbucket fish"?
EXTREMELY classified.
Guess that makes me the lucky angler WoooooHooooo!!!
If no Pic, please state: Kingdom, Phylum, class, Order, Family, Tribe and Genus so that we will know
what kind of fish it was!!!
I may be wrong but i believe it was a homosapien and i think that the estimated weight is a little heavy.
nah that's about right. it was before the incident so he still had some weight to him lol.Quote:

We didn't get to weigh it, but Don's Tarpon was pretty big!
