<That's basically what it boils down to. I'll fish for anything, even creek chubs if that's all thats around. I don't care what kind of fish it is, as long as I'm catching it.>
that's my basic fishing philosophy but given the choice i'd rather fish for something else. bluegills are a blast when you've got 2lb leaders, a crystal clear pond and a container of worms, i love trout fishing in small streams(i love spot fishing) and i've never felt anything like the 12lb catfish i got but i'd say that lb for for lb the best fighter was a 16" striper i accidentally caught(didn't know they where around) when i was in montana i kept hooking something under the dock that would run for about 2sec before my line snapped, wish i could have atleast seen it.
