Re: Best fw fighting fish?? Join the debate
True i agree many haven't caught hybrids, but they do jump. I've had them cartwheel across the surface while dumping insane amounts of line after crushing a slow moving subsurface plug. Smallies are acrobatic, esp river strains. But sheer power and explosiveness, gotta tip my cap to hybrids. I don't burn the midnight/late night oil for smallies. I do time and time again for hybrids!

I would have to agree with BroadBill with the fish that is on your line.
I have never caught a hybrid so i can not judge that, but i like the smallies battle on light tackle with those jumps. No braided line, 4-6lb mono for me. but I am happy catching whatever is hitting

I'd love to tell you a musky or a blue cat, but pound for pound nothing fights harder than hybrid striper.

Re: Best fw fighting fish?? Join the debate
For pure power I would go with carp. The only freshwater fish that ever spooled me was a carp at Colonial Lake by the bowling alley pre drawdown. For spirited energy/acrobatics I would go with river Smallies. Honorable mention for large Sunfish.
