I know there's a lot of fellow fishermen here and out of curiosity as well as seeing how everyone has different opinions, what are your favorite types or species of fish to target?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Personally, I'm a devoted Trout angler (for either stockies in the spring at home, steelhead and monster Browns in the tribs of erie or trolling for them in open water, monstrous Lake Trout in open water, and wild brook trout in the scenic streams of north central PA) and love them because the only fights in freshwater that can rival a big steelhead or laker are from a musky, pike, drum, big flathead cats, or large buffalo. Building off of that, I also love fishing for musky and pike which I just recently started doing and already love equal as much as trout fishing! (Freshwater) Drum are also another favorite target of mine regardless of their false reputation as being junk (which they're absolutely not!), they're one of the most underrated local species and even a 12"r will peel drag on screaming runs, and 30"+ ones are back breaking fights!
In addition to all those species, I also love fishing for Bass (Blacks, Whites, and Stripers), Walleye, Catfish, Carp, Suckers (especially big Buffalo and Redhorse), Perch, Sunfish, and honestly any fish that I can catch, I will target at some point . Although those first three I listed are my primary targeted and favorite fish. So what are your's?
