Only One Species

[kyfanatic]

So many to choose from,never could pick just one of anything,I always wanted them all.

I guess it would have to be Stripers,I just love the feel of those hosses when they rip some line off the reel.

Really tough to choose though,I'm happy fishing for any species,I can catch a hand sized ShellCracker and feel as good as if I caught a big Blue Marlin in the Carribean.

I've never done it but would enjoy an Alaskan King Salmon trip,or trout fishing in the Rockies,I enjoy fishing the creeks and rivers of Kentucky though.

Why Just One?

Just thought it would be fun to see what everbodies true favorite is.

This is just a down right cruel question to have to answer. Perhaps even worse than having to answer the question from the wife "does this make my butt look big."
Keeping this inner struggle in mind. I have to decided to go with spotted bass. My reasoning is that I love to fish rivers and creeks. The change in scenery makes everything so much more enjoyable. Then Smallmouth, Largemouth, and last would be Crappie.
Yup this question is just like marriage. If I change my mind on this later can I get a divorce from my decision?

It would be smallmouth for me.....in the winter....on a bobber (followed closely by from a creek)

[slippedcork]

Smallmouth here also, in the late fall and winter.

First off, we are all blessed with having the good fortune of living in or near Kentucky waters which offer so many nice species of fish to fish for...and I am glad that I don't have to pick just one. But if I did pick only one it would be smallmouth followed by Stripers being a VERY close second.

Carp, simple gear, simple bait, plenty of them, good fighters, make good fertilizer.lol lol lol. The ole brown fish followed by spots and largies, love to catch em all, as long as their is a tug on the other end of my pole I am happy.

Unfortunately I (you) have to travel outside of KY and go North to get my pick: Norther Pike. Definately a Catch and Release fish but they are a blast to catch and the bigger they are the more fun.

Wow this is painful. I have gone fishing in the past and never wet a line because I couldn't decide where to go and what to fish for. Thats pretty bad. I am really torn. I grew up wading for smallies and still do with my boy. There is something special about being waist deep in a creek and have a 2 lb smallie jumping all over the place. On the other hand, I love to be on the lake at night with a cool breeze gently blowing and frost forming on the boat as I toss deep diving Gizz 4's up against the bank. The anticipation of feeling that slight tick as a huge striper inhales my Gizz is something that just has to be experienced. I dont' get to fish for stripers much, maybe twice a year if I'm lucky, but I get to go wading pretty regular. I guess I'm going to have to say smallmouthstriper. Thats my story and I'm sticking to it.

well its hard to pick jst 1 but it would have to be catfish for me. reason being for me dont need alot of gear,the size,plentiful,good eating.

ps but man i love to bass fish

Man, this is one tough question!!! I would have to go with the fish I was raised catching since I was old enough to hold a rod.....TROUT! So many species of trout in so many majestic locations. Nothing better IMO than wading a mountain stream with ice cold water and snow caps still on the mountain tops....seeing trout rising and perhaps a moose bathing downstream. Fly rod in hand with my own personal fly on, tied the night before.....Makes me miss home!

REALLY tough question! I'm torn between trout and flounder. I'd really hate to give up either one.
