Well, where I live at and the few species available....
Crappie..
Why???...I love reeling in a slab slowly on my high speed Garcia 101 and seeing the ultra light bent over completely. The bait I use is minnows or Hal fly jigs. I love eatting them too.

Again..location is everything...I wished I lived by a trout stream .

2nd place...Largemouth bass....technique..Flipping / pitching..when I'm hard up for a hawg..I go to shiner fishing.
