Last year I caught one that measured a little over 22”— by far the largest I’ve ever brought in. But I still regularly pull 12-18” (mostly Browns, some Brooks), weighing a little under 1lbs. I’ve pulled in four that weighed over one pound.

Just curious to hear how big a ‘Big Fish’ is for everyone.

Secondary question: which one is more important, weight or length?

    Here in Vermont, Im excited with anything over 25”, but I tend to let 99.9% of fish go. I did keep a 30” Steelhead last year!!

  2. here in Virginia it is 22″ or 8 lbs,i think. but legal keeper size in my town is 7″…imo,just a baby.
