I have to comment on this one. I come from a poor chilhood and redneck step father so fishing was my past time. I once held the record for small mouth bass in the Gap Mts. If I remember correctly it was either 14 or 15 inches I do not remember what it weighed but I soon broke that record but it was out of season. FW trout, rocks, SMB, LMB, Cats, stripers and BG are what I remember going for most but I have always wanted to go for Pikes or a muskee(sp). I now really want to own a gar. As for SW fishing seabass, flounder, drum, tuna, but my favorite SW fish is shark. I love that fight!!! My best friend and I brought in a 3 foot hammerhead shark in really shalow water once. It was the first time I had ever seen one face to face. I have not been fishing for a very long time so I was reliving some of the good times so for the long rat.
