pound for pound meanest fish????

I'll throw my hat in the ring with the trout - they are a blast on light tackle. When it comes to 5 - 10 pound fish it's tough to beat a hybrid.

Coosa Spot, or a Smallmouth. Pound for pound is tough to compare....

A river or creek smallmouth in a bad mood are pretty mean. Hybrids are right up there as well. Here are a few more...

Have you ever caught a 4 or 5 foot shark? You had better man up when they make that initial 100 ft run!!!

A 4 to 7 pound Lake El Salto largemouth fights like no other! Their strength is impressive!

Caught several Lake Trout in Yukon, Canada. Took 28 minutes to land and 18 pounder. Great fighting fish for sure. The pike up there are really mean as well!
