I think if you had added crappie to the list it might be a landslide

Some people go to church and think about fishing. Some go fishing and think about God.

Stripers and whites are actually true bass. LMB is part of the sunfish family

My lowrance does not identify the species so I'm at the mercy of guessing and usually wrong....so I have to say FISH that are biting if using minnows or control what I use to narrow it down.

I'm a true fisherman and I just like my line being stretched. I will fish for whatever is biting.

I'd rather fish for just about anything than a LMB. I like hearing drag being yanked.

Snook, tarpon, and bonefish. Snook because I enjoy fishing for them the most and no teeth, bonefish because of how hard they are to find, and tarpon because they fight back. Have had to throw a forearm several times over the years to keep them out of the kayak on their jumps...


A good rule of angling philosophy is not to interfere with another fisherman's ways of being happy, unless you want to be hated.

You missed out by not putting Crappie on the poll. I put catfish because that would be the third option after Crappie.

Crappie, then striper because they are close to home and then salt water...

banana 4 sure guess op never fished for them or eaten any. imo crappie can be harder/finicky to cach than bass. Seen them trees/ brush just loaded., drop a artifical or a minner on same spot. LOCK jaw.. BTW Salt species would be a Marlin No doubt. Have seen them, never caught one.
