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

![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/j7sXP9l.jpg) 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...

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

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