RE: Favorite fish to catch???
While I love to fish for catfish, I have to say that nothing can compair to the way a steelhead fights, then Salmon then catfish. I just dont see the big thrill with bass, yet thats what ALL the fishing shows seem to be centered on

Well since i started this i will say in Freshwater that i like to catch steelhead and smallmoth the best, the are both powerful, acrobatic and beautiful fish to catch. I like anything that will pull my line, although saltwater fish, pound for pound, will beat the SH*t out of any freshwater fish i have ever caught. My fav saltwater fish to catch would have to be permit, grouper and barracuda. I still have a lot of species to catch, so give me another year and my opinion could change!!!

I love inshore saltwater fishing. I call it pot fishing because I just bring tackle for everything and catch whatever I can. I might end up starting to fish for spade fish and switch to trout, or from flounder to spot tail.
I love to fish for just about anything on a fly rod, and stripers are hard to beat overall.

Esox Lucius (Nothern Pike) and Esox Masquinongy (Muskellunge) you can't beat those big old 40-50 inch toothy critters and they put up some of the greatest fights in freshwater. There's just somthing about seeing a 20-30 pound fish launch it's self upwards of 6 feet out of the water twisting, spinning and flipping in mad frenzy trying to throw the hooks. It's amazing even the little ones under 40 inches can fit like like a rabid bulldog on speed. I love em to death!!
