slughunter Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I really enjoy walking up and down a stream in search of brown trout. by far my most favorite fish to go after. -shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DU_man_84 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I really enjoy walking up and down a stream in search of brown trout. by far my most favorite fish to go after. -shane if i lived out west or i had more time to fly fish i would agree here, rainbows and browns on a fly rod are a great time, spending a day wading a stream in search for a some trout is a great time, but since i live in illinois the majority of my fishing is done for largemouth so largemouth would have to be my favorite fish to catch, but musky is a heck of a time too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jmbstudios Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 When I get the chance, ain't nothin like flyfishing for trout... But here in SW Arizona we go for the catfish...... We do have nice Large mouth bass here, but the cats are the fun part! Especially when you get that 80# on the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerClay Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Bass are a boring fish. Muggs has it right. If you ever caught a steelhead on light tackle you would never a purple worm again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DU_man_84 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Muskies - can't beat the anticipation of a fish, even a follow up is awesome! that is true, them follows sometimes make you have to check your britches after a big follow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Bass are a boring fish. Muggs has it right. If you ever caught a steelhead on light tackle you would never a purple worm again. We don't have steelhead down here. Now, if you wanna talk FIGHTIN FISH...there's nothing more fun than catching tuna, groupers and amberjacks. Haven't gotten to fish for marlin yet but can't wait. By far the hardest fish to reel in is a shark. It takes forever.:D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Andrea Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Flatheads with my hands. Flatheads are awesome to catch but I'll stick with my rod and reel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Love it all. I need to start doing more. Probably walleyes, then smallies. But that's probably only because I haven't caught any steelies with muggs yet. <------polarized, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I'm willing to bet a tuna would fight A LOT harder than a steelhead, but I've never been deep sea fishing...someday though. I think that would be a lot of fun. Actually, I'd kill to fish for tarpon with a nice 12 weight fly rod. That and peacock bass fishing with the fly rod are my top dream fishing trips. I think I'll be doing both someday. Chris, Just say the word bud. The steelheading should be red hot here in a month or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turkeybuster Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Has anyone ever been in a catfishin tournament? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nyhunter Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Fightin fish Pound for pound and inch for inch, you can't beat the fight of a smallmouth bass. I fish in a reservoir that supplys NYC with alot of its drinking water and is mostly a brown trout fisheries but have caught smallies up to 22" and 6+ lbs. Trout fishing is great and the crappies can't be beat for the eating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig mack Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 1. Walleye 2. Perch 3. Crappie 4. Brookies and Browns 5. Bass-Largemouth or smallies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I'll agree with Andrea that some sharks are real sporty. Blacktips are awesome fast and jump like tarpon. Plus they are darn good on the grill I love to fish for Mahi's (Dorados, Dolphinfish). A big Bull Mahi has shoulders and let's you know it. Tunas are the toughest IMHO. They are just ridiculous divers. They go down, and down and down. Wahoo's win for speed and will strip your thumb bare if you are dumb enough to touch the spool on one of their runs. They are for certain one of my favorite to eat fish there is period. I've done plenty of freshwater fishing as well. Not bored with any of it. I like to fish! Sometimes I really miss my boat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Has anyone ever been in a catfishin tournament? Yes ma'am. Sure have. There are several down here. They are 24 hour tourneys. I stay awake and fish the whole time. It's crazy. But haven't scored on a really big flat head yet during a tournament. Sooooooooo many boats in the river during that!!! Lot of fun. :):) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
