Favorite Fish

[burbotman14]

What is your favourite fish to catch?

[elnino54]

Without a doubt, it would have to be Billfish on a fly, Marlin, Sailfish.....The sheer size and power defies description.......

[BC7stw]

Can't think of a fish I don't like to catch. Tried fishing for Red fish near New Orleans last fall, what a blast, as always the big one got away.

Can't beat pike through the ice.

yeah you can

pike on the fly rod

but i prefer trout

I only voted pike because muskies wernt on the list

[Donny Bear]

Big Honkin Slew Sharks caught a lot of fish in lots of places and focus on wallys but still love them big old slew sharks must be chidhood memories

[packhuntr]

I do love those big slough sharks. Predators do strange things to me! Fish with teeth boys, anything else is just bait!!

keep a strain on er.

[Okotokian]

Of the three listed I chose trout... not because I think they are any more fun to catch or eat particularly. I just like the country I fish for them in... More scenic, in my opinion. Maybe something a touch mystic about it too. Not to many Pike or Walleye fishing movies with big hollywood stars in them LOL

[BlueNorther]

Trout for me and I agree with Okatokians sentiments.Would rather be on an east slopes creek fishing for cutthroats.I caught a ton of snot rockets when I was a pup and find no challange in fishing for them now.

It's a tough call between pike and rainbows, but you can't beat top water pike action.

Bloody hands and wounds from Prairie Sharks.
Dodger.

For me it is bass. Fight like the dickens.

[bearbait]

tough one...i love catching all of them but just cant choose between trout and walleyes....so....on the fly rod trout but on spinning wally's...
any bites a good bite!!!
keep them tips up open waters commin...

[Reeves1]

Hands down, Halibut on a hand line ! Nothing like dropping a 2-3lb jig down 200' on 200+lb line
Bass comes in a close second !

Ahhh, the truth finally comes out. Oko has a crush on Brad Pitt!
(sorry bud, couldn't resist! That 'Legends of the Fall' kicks azz too, eh?)

I also voted trout, but the dream for me is a Tarpon on the fly. Some day, some day.

For me theres nothing quite like taking a fat rainbow on a dry.
Pound for pound the most fun in my books.

A few years back on a lake, right after a storm blew through, we noticed the minnows were flipping on the water. We Tied on egg beatters , and the action was non-stop for a hour, the most fun I have ever had fishing! I also love Dryfly fishing for trout too.

that's a species I am really wanting a chance at!

Just make sure you go for smallies and not buckets.

pound for pound, they are the best fighting fish in the world

[Yellowtail]

If you mean fish in Alberta, then it has to be pike on a fly rod. Pound for pound, rainbows may fight harder, but since the average pike I catch is 5 times the average rainbow I catch, they still give me a much better fight.
