Was going to go pop some 'chucks this weekend, but looking like a rain out. Maybe next weekend.

Wouldn't you think that would be the best? I not only love the desert when it's raining, I like the idea that I own it, for sure nobody else is stupid enough to be out there. But....whatever?
Good hunting. El Bee

Fun time to be in the woods!

Nice Fred! I called one up couple weeks ago for a friend, he shot it...we never saw another one.

Leonard, I love the desert after a rain. But I hate mud. Chucks ain't worth it.

Got out huntin' with my son, but hit the Gulf of Mexico predators instead of the four legged kind. Fred will recognize the two hefty Amberjacks, pound for pound, the toughest fighting fish the salt water has to offer in my opinion.

Vic
Nice footballs I envy you!
I have fished a bunch off the west coast but my bucket list includes fishing the Keys for Permit Tarpon and Bone fish as well as Snook and Red fish.
Maybe someday! My best was an 80# big eye !

Noice, Mr. Vic!
We actually get some triggers like that up here, in the mid-late summer. But not the ambers! Plenty of 'alligator' bluefish, though. Kinda sorta similar to a yellowtail or amber, and they make for fun tussling on appropriate gear...
Big stripers off the beach now. Uncle told me someone had a 58 lb. in the last few days...
Congrats on the turkeys, fellas!!!

Well, let's settle this question once and for all.
I personally have no idea what is the hardest fighting fish in the Pacific Ocean or the Sea of Cortez, since that's the only places I have wet a line.
Yellowfin Tuna put up a hell of a fight. Yellowtail put up a hell of a fight. A 10 pound Calico Bass on light tackle is a handful. Halibut fight too! A Bull Dorado is a really fun fish to catch. A Brown Pelican puts up a good fight but not anywhere as tough as a California Sea Lion stealing half your fish. Okay, stop being silly.
Now, those are fish I have caught. I never caught a swordfish and never caught a Mako, but they tell me there's the winners, right there. Never caught a 600 pound Blue marlin either. Anyway, nominations are open: pound for pound, Muskie, Northern, (I've caught those) Large Mouth Bass? What's the best?
Good hunting. El Bee

Fred is as close to a resident fishing expert as this place has, I'd be interested in his opinion of the "pound for pound" comparison.
Im only a couple years into salt water fishing, so I only know what I know from that limited time. Ive caught sharks, but they have all been over six foot class, so it's hard to compare a 12 pound red snapper or grouper to a 100 pound plus shark. Ive never caught a small shark, so I don't know how they fight?
Hopefully Fred will chime in, Im sure he has snagged about everything that swims in the Atlantic.
Posted by DAA (Member # 11) on May 10, 2018, 01:43 PM:
So I know nothing about saltwater fish. Nothing. But "have always heard" bonefish?

Posted by DAA (Member # 11) on May 10, 2018, 01:48 PM:
Around here I might go white bass?
Least fight, definitely walleye. Like reeling in a piece of moss.
Lake trout don't fight much either.

Drifting the kelp beds off of Mailbu catching mackerel on a bass rod is a hoot.

Pound for pound around here the hardest fighting fish I have caught
1) Wiper
2) Smallmouth Bass
3)Tiger Musky
In that order.....
Good Hunting Chad

Tight lining for 1to 2lb. crappie 15 to 25 ft. down at night is some pretty good action with 6lb line and a little spinging reel.
Posted by knockemdown (Member # 3588) on May 11, 2018, 03:50 AM:
Some fish just go friggin' nuts when hooked, others kinda 'sulk' about it.
When bottom fishing on the East End, we get some "dinner plate" sized porgys. Have seen a double header of 2-3 lb. porgys (on a hi/lo rig) literally snap a rod in half! Man, those little bottom fish are savage!
Only fish I know that will actually 'sulk' on purpose is a mako. Heck, they'll sometimes literally STOP trying to escape, turn tail and attack the boat! Can be very dangerous. For one, slack line = lost fish. Second, you can wind up with a very pissed off shark in the cockpit with ya!!! We've never had a stowaway, but several have launched & either hit the hull, or jumped clear over the cockpit... (no bullshit)
However,based at their physiology alone, a tuna is basically one giant swimming muscle. Their power to weight ratio is not matched by anything else with fins...
Pound for pound, gotta give it to a tuna! Heck, even a (small) 8-20 lb. tuna can & will rip drag off 80# class trolling tackle. If ya scale down in gear and shrink the ratio of line class to body weight, a tuna is gonna give ya a heck of a scrap before coming aboard...
You can 'fool' a billfish with savvy boat handling, and get a big fish to the boat in a rather short amount of time. And all the jumping they do bleeds off alot of their energy. When a billfish 'rests' during a fight, it will tail, down sea. So, we always fight a billfish by maneuvering the boat down sea of them. So, when they're 'resting', they're swimming right to ya and you're gettin' line back on the reel... ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
But, with a tuna...it is a knock-down-drag out, tug-o-war. When they get to the boat, they're literally near death.
Regardless, fish all FUN to catch! Scale your tackle down, and pretty much any fish is gonna make a good showing on the hook. And, the better they are for table fare, the more fun it is to catch em!!!

I don't know about Halibut being a good fight its more like reeling in a garage door or a huge piece of carpet! Now king salmon is a tussle !
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on May 11, 2018, 06:36 AM:
I'm hoping somebody knows what the hell is a wiper?
Hey, what about Tarpon?
Anyway, Tuna. Now Fred, I've never even been on a boat where a Bluefin was caught, I've seen a couple Big Eye, but the Tuna I have caught are Yellow Fin. They are hard fighters! I guess they go up to around 350 pounds around that island I forget the name right now but it's a spot where Great White are common.
So, that's the question: Is a Bluefin far and away the stronger fighter over the Big Eye and the yellow Fin? I read lots of stories of Yellow Fin busting rods and beefed up reels; and yet they real 'em in, very routine, the Blue Fin, on Wicked Tuna?
Another thing, I did land a 50# Wahoo once, a member of the tuna family, as is Albacore, and get this: Bonita! For the size and usually taken on oversized tackle but they are fighters! I have seen a very few fish down in Mexico that look exactly like Bonita but are too big, maybe twice the size of what we see in Southern California offshore waters. They are a handful on light tackle, but are catch and release, however the Japanese eat them.

Question; Whatever happened to the Salton Sea in Southern Calif. ????
Long time ago, that was 'the place' to go to fish.
Edit; Does anybody see the irony in talking about eating fish on the Stormy Danials (sp)thread ???? ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

Salton Sea is a strange critter. Now, figure, I have been known to leave the pool water valve open to where it overflows. But, imagine, some sort of careless valve opening of the Colorado River and before anybody notices, you have a lake in a depression of the desert that must be (what?) 20 miles long?
There is no infeed and it doesn't drain anywhere, and apparently, it doesn't even seep into the groundwater? And, this happened (WAG) in the 19teens, about a hundred years ago, or so. Where the Corvina and the Mollies came from, I don't know? And, from what I hear, at no point is it over six foot deep. Also, nobody knows what to do with it or about it? It does make a halfway decent waterfowl hunt destination. Fishing (so I'm told) is halfway decent?
It is really ignored by most everybody. You can drive both sides and there is not much happening, since everybody keeps driving to the river.
Having said all that, I don't really know much about it? The salt content increases with every rain bringing runoff from the hills and coupled with evaporation, it's a dead sea probably worse, but in the category of the Great Salt Lake. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
Anybody else?

Leonard, I stayed generic in using "tuna", as they're all hellacious fighters. Bonitos, skipjack, albies, yellows, bluefins, blackfins, bigeyes...they all pull like a freight train, and to the death...
Some just get bigger than others, and the bluefin is the only one that'll clear 400lbs, as the norm. And they get 2-3x bigger than that!
As for Wicked Tuna gear, those guys are using 'unlimited' class tackle that can dish out 50-60 lbs of drag. And you see how a big bluefin can still dump the spool!
Incredible animals...

Ling Cod is my favorite fish here in the Northwest. They're aggressive as hell and fight hard. Lock into a 30+ pounder and hang on. Excellent table fare, too. In Alaska I fished for Sockeye with a fly rod. They go beserk when hooked and they're fun to catch.
Hardest fighting fish around here is an Albacore Tuna. It's a serious struggle to get a 30-40 pounder to the boat. A day of tuna fishing is a real workout.
