Nothing like getting into a school of SMALLIES and seeing how many you can pull out. Nothing gives you a bigger rush than getting a 4 lber on and seeing a lot of Buddies with it and some of them larger than what you have on.
That jump out of the water, and other acrobatic acts just gets the OLD adrenalen flowing. The jumping and bulldogging nothing else can touch them.
The real species under Hunt would go to the Eyes and Ski's.

My favorite is still smallmouth, but where they used to be easily my favorite, they are now barely ahead of pike, which are always exciting to catch. I'm resurrecting an interest in largemouth, too, as well as walleye. I'll definitely put some more energy and time into musky pursuit in the next couple of years. See? I'm trying to broaden my horizons!

Thanks, Dad, for taking me fishing when I was a kid.

Toss up for me Salmon or Trout, went Salmon. Now I know why they are grouped up, nobody else wants to fish for them :wink:

I agree about the largemouth as well. They are a great freshwater fish, nothing like a 8 pounder smashing a topater bait

I used to be an unabashed walleye snob, but recently I had an epiphany (wow - where'd that word come from :shock: ...I think was a beer commercial 8) )..what I REALLY like is the following situation:

Glass calm water - dead silent lake, misty chill of morning or evening along a rocky, spruce lined shore...no one else around, the only sound being the occassional loon, the rip of my drag and the splash from another fish coming to the net...

any type of fishing that involves that I'll love it.

But I'm pretty sure I'll always prefer that fish be a scrappy little Cdn Shield pickerel :D
There are few problems in life which can not be solved with a well-placed, high-explosive projectile.

I would say perch barbotte and crappie in spring then it comes to walleye and pike when its opened in May when comes summer my main target is both small and largemouth bass and now since I caught my first 2 muskie last year now Im hooked on muskie and I hope to catch a muskie over 40" this year and I hope to get some trout this summer as well. When winter come its walleye followed by perch and pike.

I voted smallies on this one and had to think about it for awhile :lol: :lol: They can be a really tough opponent in gin clear water and on the end of the line! Also like anything thats lurking under the slop :P
