JUST ONE AND THATS IT!
 

you can only catch one species of fish for the rest of your fishing life... what fish is it? why?

most likely dolphin for me... fights like hell and tastes like heaven.

steve, check your pm.

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!
 

I like the relaxed fishing of Fluke, and there isn't a much better tasting fish any were!

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!
 

I'd like to catch Wahoo, they are good fight and fun to catch, plus good to boot.

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!
 

WAHOOOOOOOO..... *ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.... But alas, Like most of us, I must work for a living.... There is something wrong with that whole concept! * 8)

Dam fish, now that's a question!

Hard as heck to decide. I think its between mahi and flounder, but I'm torn. Then again, I've never caught groupers and snappers either, so I don't know what I'm missing there.

Hopefully none of us will ever have to make this decision. Its like trying to decide between food and air - you just can't live without both!

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!
 

Fluke - Wahoo blondes- brunettes Penn - Shimano
CC - Cuddy Browning - Beretta longbow- recurve
fly rod - spinning gear Sebastian Inlet - Key West
fresh water - salt brunettes - red heads
Jack Daniels - Wild Turkey - Henry McKenna
Drifting - Trolling High Tide - Low tide

;D ;D Life Sure Is Grand ;) 8)

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!
 

uh willy... i think you may have missed the point of the question.

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!
 

Nah I didn't miss anything short answer is I love them all and couldn't pick just one sorry

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!
 

Easy on the meds there buddy. Leave em to the pro's like me. ;D

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!
 

There are so many species that I haven't even had a chance to have a shot at yet. I have fished other parts of the country as well as Costa Rica for Peacock Bass. But, given where I live, I guess I'd go with Fluke or BFT. 8)

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!
 

then im afraid im going to have to pick one for you... sorry willy but its searobin for you.

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!
 

Lizard fish. Or how about Oyster toads!

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!
 

CONCHES, I pull in my line and it is bobing and weaving
like a real fish and then it is just a conch.

but then again I could always make fritters.

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!
 

Snapper.

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!

;DMAN YOU SUCK ;), JUST ONE. WELL I WOULD GO WITH. HELL IM NOT TELLING YOU I SAT HERE LOOKING AT THIS DAM SCREEN FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND I CAN NOT PICK ONE WAAAAAAAAAAAA

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!
 

Sea Robin huh, I would have thought you would have picked something more exotic for me ::)

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!
 

always wanted to hook me a billfish of some sort. but, since that is out of reach of this mississsippi boy, and i gotta pick just one... i got it... speckled red tarpon! yup, just watch out for the rattlemoccassins.

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!
 

ok willy you want exotic ill give you exotic... they dont get much more exotic than the beautiful and elusive humpback camel bass.

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!
 

Fluke? Haven't any of you boys ever landed a Marlin? White or Blue, there is nothing like watching her break water 3 or 4 times every minute till you get her to the boat. ;D

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!
 

MAKO , YOU CAN HAVE THE MARLIN, AND THERE GOOD TO EAT ;)http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d57/captbent/be_1.jpg

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!
 

you ain't suppose to eat Marlin they are full of mercury like lots of it.

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!
 

Fish I got it, Shinnecock Jetty Rockhoppers
Yea Yea thats the one ;D 8) ;)

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!
 

i aint eatin the marlin, just releasin

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!
 

c'mon willy... you know as well as i that **** rock hops (thats what we nyer's call shinnecock jetty rockhoppers) are a protected species.
plus you cant even eat the dam things.

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!
 

Oh I protect them, and I eat them as often as possible, that may seem a contradiction in terms but it's my story and I'm sticking to it 8)

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!
 

And to be more to the point which I have been accused of missing, for my favorites I have to separate two categories. For fresh water which is what I have done most of my life I would have to say a big wild hook jaw rainbow on a fast water run in the river with a 8.5 ft Sage 5 weight. Fast hard pulling smart multiple jumping son of a gun, and taste's fantastic. And you better be able to run along a rock strewn river with waders on or you aint getting him.
In the salt I have'nt got to try out too many species yet, love fluke for the simple fishing fun and the eating. Love the stipers for the fight which why I don't fish them often with wire line trolling rigs and umbrellas etc. Enjoy the fight on lighter tackle and eels or Spro type jigs.
But it would be a sad world if that was all there was. I'm waiting for the oppurtunity to go for shark, Big Fight and good eating and a little dangerous to boot, love it.
Favorite eating and best fight for me so far was yellow fin tuna.
If I could afford the boat needed and the fuel and time that would be the species I would target the most.

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!
 

Mako is a cool fish from what I understand.

Jumpin, fightin, good @ss eating, plus - get this -

YOU GET TO TAKE A GUN ON THE BOAT AND SHOOT THE SOB!! :o ;D :D ;)

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!
 

LOL -- best of both worlds! ;)

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!
 

I changed my mind,
I like the Sweedish Redfish,
they are easy to catch and good to eat.

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!
 

Yeah, but I heard they never shave.... :o

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!

Re: JUST ONE AND THATS IT!
