Bluegill, for all reasons stated above and because they will bite you for no reason when you're swimming!

Yellow bass are amazing little fighters. If we're gonna include saltwater, a big flounder can be really hard to pull up into a boat, because they're able to use their flat body shape to their advantage. Feels like you're reeling in a cinder block.

Hardest fighting= smallies........meanest (the original question)= pike

Redfish 1st, then sharks. I promise, with a shark, the fight is only half over once you land it!!!

This one was the first i've caught and it took all i could to get him in without breaking the line, It had to have been agood 2 1/2-- 3ft

The Bluefish : When hooked, it'll leap, often consecutively. A feeding bluefish is fearless, fights to the end, and then considers your fingers for dessert.

If Bluefish came as big as Stripers... They'd EAT your boat!

Preparing for a tarpon hunt in a two weeks. I'm hoping to add that to the discussion list.. Blues are bad, no doubt about it. Kings are up there too. One surfed me all the way from the back of an off shore boat all the way to the front, then circled the boat a few times. Captain said catch rate was around 40% We landed six of six, but it wasn't easy by any stretch.
