(1) Carp now that I have been on some more
(2) Catfish
(3) Pike/Musky

Hmmmmm.......... for freshwater FIGHT/EXCITEMENT:

At 5 pounds each - Smallmouth would beat them all.

But smallmouth don't ever get as big as your selection.

At 15 - 20 pounds - my choice in order would be - Muskie, Rainbow, Channel Cats, Carp.

Salmon get big - but its usually a long dull tug o' war really.
