Mike have you actually caught all of these? I have never caught a redhorse or grass pickerel that I'm aware of at least.
Deep, with a bowfin if you weight it in it wouldnt it have to be dead anyway and C&R its not being transport, so why is this different from any other? Can't it just be manditory to only weight in dead fish.

If bluefish were the size of bluefin, I would poison the whole ocean.

The only fish of all that I listed that I have never caught is the northern redhorse.
One time I brought up a topic asking if there's any in CT and others said the only areas of the state where you would find there are the Farmington and upper CT River.
If bluefish were to grow as big as giant bluefins, then there would be nothing left out there except for blues!

One that you mentioned Mike is what I was also considering. Hybrid Sunfish would be another to consider. I have caught many bluegill/pumpkinseed hybrids and I've seen Husky Bass's ice fishing pics of those monsters.

We are stil waiting fot our 69lb Mahi wieghed at J & B in 2010 to be considered.At the time there was no catagorie for Mahi. this fish would put CT. on the map.By the way JJ did get his full size mount from the Fisherman Contest for the largest species. This guy lost a little bit of money. Beautiful Mount.
