FAVORITE FISH to catch and why

[Rayman1]

Hmmmmmm........I'm going to go with Blackfish.

-They're a challenge to catch
-Hard fighting fish
-Great eating


Striper is Very Very Close...Especially when it comes to livelining!

Stripers from the surf,you could fish all day or night and that one fish makes it worthwhile.Then comes fall/winter trout,the solitude of fishing a stream.

I'm with Ray on this one. the challenge of catching big tog is very rewarding to me.

I used to be a striper addict, Im now hooked on toggin. I like getting into a lights out chew when they smash the crab right after it hits the bottom. I think the fact I haven't figure it out yet is part of it too.

bluefish where what started my love for fishing at a very young age and will always be close to my heart, but i would have to say false albacore.me not being a meat fisherman, whats not to love? they fight like hell, you dont need to go miles off shore for them, you can catch them on light tackle, even when they are blitzing everywhere they can still be a challange so they are always an accomplishment , and it is all cast and reterive fishing at high speeds so it never gets boring.

Have to agree. Short of going way offshore for a rare tuna blitlz, the albies get it done like no other. Plenty of factors go into my choice besides the fabulous fight they give. The variety of ways to catch them, high speed jigging, little piece of bait on a tiny hook, Tsunamis and bucktailing. The challange of landing one on a crowded party boat. The excitement of sight fishing them, watching them zoom by and take every bait but the one on your hook and the excited yells of the newbies who never saw one. "What the hell was that??" The sheer anticipation of them coming and worrying about IF they come and the shortness of the season. Hell, you could write a book about it. Love hearing guys I saw last year telling me that they watched us catch 'em last season and now they're locked and loaded.

My "dream fish" is a BIG mahi, jump and fight like a sailfish, but great on the grill!!! I LOVE catching tuna, after several, I would be spent!! The thought of going offshore several days to hunt big golden tilefish and grouper ........... well I can't think of a woman who could keep me at home and miss that trip!!! The thrill of jigging up 30# to 45# amberjack you can see circling the boat gets me wired up, ready to go South.
