pound for pound meanest fish????

[crazyfishinnut]

Pound for pound would be a white bass but most fight isnt the same thing
!!!!!! that would be a pike or hybrid hands down but not pound for pound.

I thought about this a little more...
Although I love Smallies and spots and they should get their due.. as should Hybrids... I have come up with a new candidate for just flat out mean kick but and probably the best fighter overall...
If a fella mixed a smallmouth, spot,hybrid and bluegill he would end up with
a PEACOCK BASS.... I got a taste of these in Miami last year....
UMMMM>.. AWESOME

"Meanest" ... or "hardest pulling" ????

Meanest ... I'd have to go with Snakehead .... LOL !!! (or maybe a Bowfin ??)
Hardest pulling ... that might be a toss up between a Carp & a Yellow Bass.

(we are talking "pound for pound" here, right ??)

Just MHO, though.

... pappy

I was gonna go grinnel too.

Toughest in hand might be a squirmy, small fiddler cat. Super sharp spines that ain't been dulled down wriggly all in you hand is a recipe for a finning.

Creek muskies can put up quite a fight on line.

the dog fish or sometimes called the grinnel... those dudes will hit hard and will not stop... ive broken poles over 5lbers ... im tellin ya ... these fish will pull pull pull and pull

[fishassasin]

or are we only talking about sport fish not rough fish?
