Pound for pound Nothin fights......

You're right, seaweed, those drum do pull hard. No jumps though and once they give up, their body becomes a giant propeller in the water and they start that darn roll....can take forever to horse a biggun in.

I think the hardest fighting fish I've ever hooked into was a bowfin. THey're not too plentiful around here though, well at least if they are I don't get them. Only ever got one about 2lbs and it fought easily like a 6lb bass!
