Bragging Rights Leaderboard - largest fish by species

[J.A. Veil]

I came across a similar bragging rights leaderboard on another fishing site. I thought it would be fun to start one for SRRKC members. The way it works is that if you catch a species not already on the list, or catch a larger fish than the one already listed for a species, you can submit a photo of your fish to me or RodsGirl. We will update the leaderboard. You can catch the fish at any location as long as it is caught on hook and line in a legal manner. No prizes will be awarded for entries here -- it is solely for showing your prowess as an angler. A separate leaderboard post will be set up to show the smallest fish of any species. The leaderboard begins with fish caught on or after January 1, 2012.

If you catch a fish that you think is particularly large or small for its species, please send me the details so I can update the large-fish and small-fish bragging rights leaderboard. I added two new species this morning -- hickory shad and largemouth bass. There are lots of good fish out there of many species. Let's get some new additions to the leaderboards.
