Pound for pound..... bluegill. If someone could develop a strain of bluegill that averaged 2 to 3 pounds.... wow!

Overall line stripping power and endurance - I have to agree with the carp.

Prettiest fight.... Rainbow Trout. Lots of style points.

I understand (having never caught one) that some sturgeon will "tail walk". This would be neat!


I am NO LONGER the "Someday" man.

1 pond, half acre or so
