Smallmouth, and to be honest there isn't even a close second

If I'm looking for a few to eat, I'll go catch crappie

Ditto. The distant second would be striper. It might be higher if I was better at actually getting them to bite.

never have fished for smallmouth so i will definitely say a largemouth. getting a topwater strike is so exhilarating.

I don't get to fish for them anymore, but probably my top favorite would be Pike, with large mouth being a very close second. I love small mouth as well, when given the opportunity.

Since I am now trying to learn how to fish man made reservoirs (much different than the natural lakes I used to fish years ago) my answer current answer would be any fish that will bite.

I would have to go with river/creek smallmouth. They fight just as hard out if the water as they do in the water. They're like largemouth on crack!

Caught a few last month in Florida! They sure do taste good!!! I didn't eat these but have in the past.

Smallmouth, Smallmouth and Smallmouth, lakes rivers or streams, I don't care but smallies are my favorite by a lot.

Crappie cause it's the only thing I'm halfway decent at catching on a regular basis. Lol

REALLY hard to say, because I love both salt and freshwater fishing, but I'll say bluefish, because I've had the most fun fishing for those, either surf-fishing, with a school going by, or in Indian River Inlet, standing on the front platform of by brother's boat with it bobbing around in 3- or 4-ft seas, casting a Hopkin's Jig anywhere I saw seagulls diving. They put up a good fight, too! (the fish, that is, not the seagulls... they just make a lot of noise and foul your line)

Tough question. I enjoy all types of fishing but I think I enjoy catching big cats out of the Ohio river more than most other species.

The power of the river current adds to the excitement of reeling any species in.
