For me it's a toss up between a 15lb+ Golden Dorado from Argentina, or a 15lb+ River Striper ( All on the fly rod of course.)

+1. Any fish that I'm actually targeting from the boat would be nice. I've been out searching for crappie and have only managed to land a couple catfish and some Guadalupe bass.

I am with the Muskie guys. However I am looking for a 55" fish, already have hit the 50.5 and 54". Catching a 55" fish is one thing I doubt I will ever do but I keep trying.

What lakes were you fishing? If you want you can PM me if not thats OK too.

Casting or trolling?

I have only fished LOTW and we do alright casting for them. The biggest was 49" but would love to step it up.

I want a 15 lb hybrid, a 20 + lb striper , and a 3 lb crappie.
I am 3.5 lbs shy on the hybrid , 2.5 lbs shy on the striper ,
and 2oz shy on the crappie.

As for a species I would love to catch and have not , it has to be a
golden dorado from S America.
