Default PBs?

I know this thread won't appeal to many, and may anger a few, but I thought it;d be interesting to know what people's PBs are (on the fly)? I know a lot of fishing is about the sport not the fish, etc etc, but just out of interest, for those that are interested, what's your PBs? Mine as follows:

Salmon: 20-22lb
Rainbow trout 21lb 9oz
Brown trout (stocked) c18lb
Brown trout (wild) 11lb
Sea Trout 8lb
Arctic Char: 5lb
Shark: c 80lb
Bonefish: 4lb
Permit: 4lb
Carp: 15lb

Interested in any others?

Cheers
Alex

A laudable list. Hope I'm not being too nosey Alex but where did you get the Brown trout and Charr ?

What flees were you using ?

If you don't mind me asking.

1/2lb broonie on the Ericht last year. Tough lie, water up to the nipples on chesties and heavily overgrown banksides.

Not my biggest by a long way but definitely my PB.

Hee hee Alex. Although I'd love to, for the foreseeable I can't afford to go after a lot on your list due to expensive children but I can definitely do you on the carp by several pounds! A while back on a dirt cheap syndicate. Klinkhammer, well to be honest, not a real Klink, it was tied on a B100 which technically makes it an emerger apparently! Damn strong hooks those B100s. 30 minutes and not a sign of a bend.
