SSKY try a steelhead in a fast water river, then maybe you will change your mind about what a fighting fish is.ALL fish are fun to catch. there are just three species that I have not caught, grayling, squawfish,and char. caught an amur two years ago, and the jumps were fantastic, sturgeon,they have an awesome size, and so did the alligator gar i got that was over 5 ft long, but any fish is worth fishing for.
