Lowest odds of me actually doing it first
Rooster fish in El Savaldor or Panama on light tackle
Salmon out of Kenai, Alaska
Drive thru a trout creek and squish a rainbow under my tire in Telico, NC in my buggy
Blue fin Tuna out of Hatteras
Florida strain large mouth in lakes around Orlando
Fall sail fish out of here
A fresh water striper that's worth keeping with Reel on an upstate SC lake(rare event from what i hear)
A salt water striper out of Rudy inlet with Lee and/or kracker/draglink/cvensor or any one else on here in Va.
Actually catching some thing of note out of my 14 Mckee

Tarpon in Marathon...check
Bluefin Tuna out of Hatteras...check
Billfish in Costa Rica....check
Sailfish off the NC Coast....check
 
Now if I could only catch a damn slot sized red drum I could die happy, that and a few Central American Rooster fish would be a bonus.

I'm one of those F__ckers who knows, get your Old Coot arse up here, soon.
S far as my desires it would be the Roosters, then Yellow Fin on the west coast.
Would like to spend a month down by Seacrets fishing the Gulf with FishBones, and a month chasing Reds with my best friend Van Bailey in Louisiana.
A few weeks fishing the big drop off in Puerto Rico.
And a few weeks chasing all those Bahamas fish with a fly rod.
I would also like to spend a couple of weeks chasing big brown trout on the fly in England and Scotland.

dont know if you southern boys know this but baby bluefish are called 'snappers'. another fact you may not know is many days, bluefish can be quite the nuisance. 
toward the end of summer those little snapper are between 3/4 pound and 1 1/2 pounds. they'll eat dam near anything you throw at them. we got a spot where they hang for hours at a time. they hide from the bigger blues and stripers that are getting fat for the trip south. we throw tins at them on 4 pound spinning gear and believe me they tear yards off them little reels. you can hook up with a fish on dam near every cast and you'll get tired way before they will. aint much to compare with them for light tackle. we flatten the barbs down on trebles cause they take the whole dam thing in their mouth.
many's the day when snappers or blues have saved the day and provided hours of fun. we even throw them 4 pounders at the bigger boys and go on and fight a 10 pound bruiser on a 4 foot spinner. 
not my dream trip and certainly way behind another chance to fish with my dad but some of the best sport you can come by in the northeast.

#1-Dundas and Zayas Island for Giant Salmon and Halibut (going there July-4th) 
#2-Rooster/Dolphin combo on light gear some warm sand:sun: lots of cold beer:beer: good company :happy:and a view to live for has my vote.
 
I know how big the grin gets when you hook into a 50Lb Tyee and the pull of a Halibut you could never boat or the beer would be #1 hands down

X2  Snapper Blues are way fun.  We've actually taken a nail, driven it thru a can top, added hook and line and caught blues for hours on it.  They are not picky eaters... if it's in the water they consider it fair game.
 
My dream fishing trip would have to be off the coast of the French or Italian Rivieras.  Any fish will do...not particular.  But there's nothing like the Mediterranean Sea for shear beauty...and the view of the beach is nothing short of spectacular!
 
(Did I mention that most beaches are topless?)  :love:

another thing about a school of blues. . . . they'll tear through a school of bait or anything else you toss them just because it's got the nerve to be in their ocean. they're just plain mean and nasty. sometimes it seems they bite just because they're angry.

Hatteras, NC on my own boat chasing wahoo, dolphin and tuna with friends.  I'd like to get good and tired of that and do some bottom drops for grouper.  That is all I ask, nothing more.  :beer:
 
Oh and sight cast a couple of 80lb cobia on the way back in.
 
Yeah, that's a dream trip for me fo sho.

Well, with any sort of luck his country will be rid of him soon enough.  Then God can make his final judgement on him.  :bat:

I am lucky enough to have fished 2 days with my dad AND son last week...we all caught some nice largemouth bass and had a great time.
 
 
My dream trip is to catch a bluefin tuna off of Holden Beach, NC...or be there with my dad when my son catches one.

I would love to re-live one of the days we got dozens of cod.
I would also make sure my Mom didn't give them all away :)
Realistically, I would just be happy catching a few big stripers.

I'd be in the keys... anywhere between Tavernier and Islamorada... on the V.  Troll the humps for tuna and dolphin early, then have a few bottom drops on the way back in and spear a few grouper and snapper.

ditto on the KEYS. Had great times in Summerland, Stock Island, Key West. Shallow, on the reefs and deep.
Mahi, blackfin, grouper, yellowtails, mangroves, jumpin' tarpon from a dock. Deep dropped there in 600 ft once & caught Tiles, roseys and , believe it or not a couple red hake! Thought they were a northern fish..
 
Had great trips with my brother in Pompano Beach on his 29 Aquasport. SWORDFISHIN is GREAT off Ft Lauderdale.  Headed there Tuesday for one last trip. Selling the boat.
