Hardest fight

[oscarcrazy]

mine would be an 18 pound coho on a trout rod and old 5 pound test line

Love how coho fight, 18 lbs is a monster too.

took me about 35 minutes

 

[csx4236]

260lb blue shark
200lb mako
80lb Yellowfin tuna

All in Canyon off Mountauk NY, Mako was the hardest fight I have ever experienced.

 

[Dan F]

five lb small mouth while fly fishing with two lb tippet. only took me a half hour.

I think Smallmouth Bass are the hardest fighters for their size.

My hardest fight overall was probably from my biggest fish, a 39", 42 pound Chinook.

my buddy hooked a 300 pound goliath grouper in the keys off of the thunderbolt wreck. fought it for 20 minutes before it went back into the wreck and snapped him off, was by far the hardest fight ive seen im person.

30lb striper on 12lb test, it bit right as some guys boat went by it pulled so hard it took me a few seconds to realize it was a fish not the boat

 

[The Red Severum]

As the OP i have to give it to yall, yall are way better anglers than me. Im beyond a novice if i dont go out with my buddy i dont catch anything. And no need to fight, a fight is a fight man! If it gets ur heart a poundin and adrenaline through the roof its a fight in my mind. And all yall sport anglers in the salt water, wheres my invite to join ya??? LOL i really really want to go tarpon fishing in florida and as for FW i dream of the day i can go to south america and go peacock bass fishing! I just love to fish but know nothing of it, i dono half the fish you guys named, sadly.......but if any of u offer to take me on a trip id love to learn and land them haha! Happy fishing guys!

Funny story! No fight involved but i was fishing off a bank under a bridge with my bait about 3 inches from my bobber or so all of a sudden i notice it coming towards me against the current. I reeled her in and it was a damned crab munchin my shrimp!!!!! He got like 3 feet to shore and looked at me like "Oh crap im being pulled out" and he jumped off! Lil bugger! LOL!
