Interesting view as well Bobad. I am sure it does have a bit to do with the climate.

If I were to pick my top fish of all time to catch and or stock it would be Muskey. The pure power and challange to catch it makes it the ideal fish.

I also tend not to eat the fish I catch. I do more of a catch and release method. Thus taste is less of a driving force and challange is the largest thing for me when selecting a fish. Quickly followed by fight.
