day5 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2009 I love hooking into SMB's when fishing for trout. I always think I have a huge trout on my line, but in the end it's only SMB that weighs only about a pound. Man can those fish put up a fight. sounds like you need to give up trout and fine tune your smallie fishin and chase 3 4 and 5+ pound smallies! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jhammer 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2011 I voted for other because one of my personal favorites is the flathead catfish. Not many chase them purposely with a fly, but once you hook into a big one, it changes your life lol. Best description I can think of is if you attached your fly to the back of a locomotive. It's a long drawn out fight that usually leaves your arms numb. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hardtimes 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2011 SMB is my favorite target species with panfish a close second. Now with that said, I will take what ever bites and have fun with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2012 Sorry, carpflynut ... after watching a few videos of the PNG Black Bass, I've concluded that they are not the hardest fighting fish. They fight fairly hard, but like a lot of tropical fish, they have little stamina and give up rather quickly. I'll take a LMB or SMB over those any day. A carp will out pull one of those, hands down, and the carp can reach MUCH larger sizes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

176319 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2012 Smallies are my summer savour. When ever any other fish aren't following through I have something to back up on. For me I can go catch 1 smallie and I'll be happy. They fight like they are 10 pounds heaveir then they really are. SMALLIES ROCK! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shoebop 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2013 QUOTE Whats the difference between pike and musky? In my experience I've never seen a pike go airborn, seems like they always dive. Musky on the other hand will try some smallmouth like acrobbatics to get off your line I've had Northerns jump many times! But maybe they're just more athletic in Minnesota.

Phish 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2013 Had to say LMB because they are tough to hang on when they get over 18"plus. Musky and smb are less than half point behind so but I am more than happy to chase them no matter what. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nick2011 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2013 it depends on the state, i live in colorado and havent seen to many smallies, so id have to say wiper Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
