If You Could Only Pick One
If you could only pick one species of fish to chase for the entire season what would it be and why?

Re: If You Could Only Pick One
Hmmm only one eh... Just one kind of fish... Ahhh weeel If I had to pick, I mean really pick... Maybe  Largemouth Bass.  Reasons...

Where I live I can chase them from opener till ice up, I can chase them shallow, I can chase them deep. I can toss spinner baits, topwater, buzz baits, crank baits, plastic worms, jigs, finesse baits, big baits.  I can slug it out with them with waders on or sitting in my boat. I can fish for them in the still of first light or the dead calm of darkness falling. The smaller fish are decent eating in Spring and Fall in the cold waters that I fish and can surprise you where they should be and a lot of times where they should not be. Did I mention sight fishing, live bait fishing, frogs and the tail walking that seems to be a very common trait of this fish that fights all the way to the boat.

Smallmouths would be a close second but I don't get to the BWCA much any more.

It is not how many years you live, it is how you lived your years!

Re: If You Could Only Pick One
Ok you are thinking Ill say ROCKBASS  but no If there was only one fish to fish for it would be the Muskellunge :Clap: :Clap: :Clap: :Clap:

Why??? Well they are the by far the Hardest fish to figure out and catch on a routine basis!  Its more like hunting, you have to figure out where one lives, what will turn him on to strike, and then be able to land him.  Plus they are the best looking of all the Minnesota fish IMO! :happy1:

Largemouth Bass.

Abundant in the waters I fish, and fun as hell to catch! 
PLUS, If im chasing bass, I may get some pike and other fish in the mix  ;) I know, thats cheating!
