Re: If you could only fish for one
I had to go with Fluke...but lean toward Blackfish. If I didn't have to freeze my ballz off while toggin then it would have been a no brainer. The colder days do keep the jetskis and weekend drunks off the water....hmmmm.
 I like the variety of techniques for the Fluke fishing and different types of conditions encountered....but a fresh Whitey dropped right into the pickle barrel...hmmm.... ARGHHHH...THEY BOTH KICK ARSE!!! Fin_S

Re: If you could only fish for one
W/o a doubt tuna.
"circle of death" gotta love that. What other fish (ON THIS LIST!!!!!) do you land, then sit down laughing like a 6 yr old for 20 minutes, with your arms feeling like jelly?

Re: If you could only fish for one
Got to agree with Hammer, just ain't nothing that compares to livelining bunker for Bass. When that big tail comes out of the water to slap that bunker silly , that is a rush!

Re: If you could only fish for one
Fluke is #1 for the variety of opportunities (but hate the shortened season and tougher size limits!) Been fishing for them for 40+ years from 6 different small boats I've owned.
Close second for seabass...long season, abundance and the fact my kids always caught some with me.....they are now adults! Used to love blues back in the day (1960-70's) before I ever saw a striper, but now stripers are a third place (but on the way up!) |

Re: If you could only fish for one
1st choice was blackfish. The challenge of putting a catch together when 80% of other fisherman are having a tough time and then giving extra fish to those who did not fare as well.
2nd choice Jigging Tuna - The physical workout that catching tuna puts on your body is a rush. 3rd Choice Bucktailing Fluke on Rocky bottom. Fishing the sticky stuff takes a little more skill than dragging bait on sandy bottom. Also the pay off is uasually bigger fish. MVP |

Re: If you could only fish for one
surf fishing. no charter or party boat captain needed to find fish for you..no gps, temperature gauges or fishfinders to put you on the fish...actually casting rather then dropping...walking a beach or hitting a few jetties at night...stopping to chat with guys in the club you see along the beach or driving from spot to spot..hitting the fisherman's den(headquarters) for a coffee and to talk to the guys. coming and going as you please... nothing beats it and I miss it every day. It has to be the rawest form of fishing left on the planet. not much has changed in surf fishing. second is steelhead, salmon and brown trout fishing in lake ontario tribs...I have had more fun up there with my friends then anywhere else. when I fluke fish I get bored and drink beer. same as blackfishing. it is more of a social deal, like a party to me. that is why fluke and blackfish are tied for third.. Tuna...after five minutes on the rod it becomes work...few times a year is enough for me. shark...drifting and dreaming..but awesome when the rod goes off!
i really hacked up mikeys poll, but that is the line up for me.  |

Re: If you could only fish for one
It would have to be BLUEFIN tuna
In 1969 at age 11 I was on the rod for the footballs. In the afternoon I was not allowed near a screaming reel cause the 60"s on up moved in to feed. A picture of 137 pounder with me standing in the shadow is still very vivd in my memories of such a great fishery in the Mud Hole. From the BA to the HA was a far cry from running to the canyon in Aug thru Oct. At age 50 I still very much enjoy the thrill of that reel screaming for mercy
