favorite species

[OldTimer]

I really do enjoy them all – and each has its place in my books dependant on how, where, and what I’m fishing, or if they are for the table.

For instance – for me – in freshwater – using top water plugs when spinning - or poppers on the fly rod – my favourite is Smallmouth.

But in smaller inland streams – older resident Brown Trout get my vote (it’s more like hunting than fishing)

Super light dry fly fishing = Mooneye. (Endless fun)

Saltwater shallows – for me - would be Barracuda using tubing jigs or top water baits. ( how ‘bout that - we agree MB!)

Surf or Jetty fishing is Snook.

For the table: Saltwater = Pompano……….. Freshwater = Yellow Perch…… Smoked = Sturgeon

But there are many close seconds and thirds…………………. And fourths……. Etc.

However – if I had to make the choice of having only one fish remain available to me for the rest of my time here – and considering all styles, hardware, facets, environs, spunkiness, and table qualities……….. I’d pick Smallmouth Bass.
