What is considered "big game" ?

What is considered a “big game” fish ?

I figure the answer to this will vary widely on the areas you all fish but PLEASE add your 2 cents on this. It’s kind-of a poll.

Does it go by the type of fish? Like fish species that can grow upwards of 100 lbs. ?

Are wahoo, mahi mahi, giant trevally (GT), amberjack, baracuda, kings and such “big game” ?

Or does it go by the actual size of the fish caught. If so, Is it over 20 lbs., over 30 lbs., over 40, etc. ?

Thanks, Capt. Jeff

I’m kinda broke at the moment so I will only put in a half sense. Pound for pound I will have to say the rare “Deep Water Roche” in the blue gill family that gets up to 15 inches in length, and has 1 inch steaks. (for blue gill eaters if you haven’t caught one of these, you are missing out)

Only caught one that size caught many 11 and 12 inch. Each one put up a fight that I would compare it to any lunker bass I have ever seen. With its spinning action (swimming in circles) it feels like Coe-hoe on the end of my pole!!!
