As a bass fisherman, I generally rarely fish deeper than 30-feet, but I also am fortunate enough to get to try my hand at some pretty interesting saltwater fishing which brings me to new depths. During the twelve years I have been seasonally guiding in Alaska, I fish the 150-300 foot range quite often, but until I had my first experience fishing for Black Cod, I never made a drop much deeper than that. This summer I have targeted Black Cod, or Sablefish, a few times and its a totally different realm when it comes to the depth zone they live in. I focus on primarily muddy bottoms in 1900-2200 feet of water. Needless to say, with a 24 oz weight, it takes awhile to reach the bottom (generally 11-18 minutes just to hit bottom) and then it's another 20+ minutes to just reel back up.............hopefully you dont lose your bait on the way down.
This is a pretty extreme example of a deep water fishing, but I want to hear what the deepest is that you ever caught a fish.......whether in Georgia or elsewhere.
