What do you think is the #1 fighting fish in any Great lakes

[caznik]

What do you like fishing for on the Great Lakes when it comes to the fight of a fish? My vote would have to be the Skamania Steelhead because that fish will not stop jumping out of the water and is a very tuff fish to bring in the boat. I remember fishing in the Harbor at Frankfort and they was very thick in there and my dad and I was hooking on lots of them. We lost alot of lures and lost allot of Skams that day. That afternoon we caught 4 Skams and lost so many it wasn't funny

I voted Kings just due to the larger size, but if it came down to a pound per pound toughness and enjoyment, I'd swing toward Steelys in a heartbeat.

[Priority1]

Yes the brute force from a 25+# King is tough to beat. The Steelhead is a better showman.:)

I did watch Dv8oR reel in a 3.5lb smallmouth last year, but did not see smallmouth on the poll. That critter had shoulders on it I tell ya!

If I fished Lake Ontario where those Moby Chinook's roam, I would say Chinook. Since I fish Lake Michigan, I would have to say Steelhead.

[Unreel]

The Skamania Steelhead are radicle. BUT The river brown trout pound for pound are insaine fighters. I havent caught enough of Lake Michigan browns to really compare to the Kings and Steelies.

if you ask me a big old sheep head beats them all lol

[hbrowndog]

Steelys hands down

[LongLine]

King for brutte strength & speed, however a 15 Lb Atlantic (which are extremely rare) will put anything in freshwater to shame.

[spoonmaster]

I have only fished Erie in the last 20 or so years so I have to say Steelhead, nothing like seeing a 10 lb'er come 5-6 ft out of the water !!!!!!!!

But on the other hand.................rdfishin does make a good point, maybe if the sheephead would learn how to jump !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

***I think I need some warm weather,startin to go crazy***

I vote for the sheephead:)

[DangerDan]

I vote the Asian Carp..... Well okay, theyre not that big yet but just give em a few years, they'll be huge and so plentiful they'll be jumpin in your boat...

[CaptLevi]

Moby Chromer!:D

[Dv8oR]

I'm going to keep with the perch.


Fierce rod breaking action........

It may be fun to watch me have a hard time reeling in a perch, but it would never compare to the bottomless beer Rich had at a certain tourney camping trip! (not to mention the scope-eye he caught a couple of years ago!)

[Storm Warning II]

What other fish can take out 3 or 400' of line in like 45 seconds????

...nuff said.

[CaptLevi]

MOLBY CHROMER CAN!!!

[SkeinMachine]

Didn't see sturgeon on the list,my vote would go to Kings.

[special x]

It was a tough choice but for over here on Lake Superior its the STEEL HEAD
they put on the greatest show..but if you want a long battle try a 35 lb laker down at 150 ft..some days it take an hr or 2 to bring him up..

[fishsniffer]

i voted steelhead cause i love watching tham jump and twist in the air 50 feet behind the boat

[Adam Bomb]

Kings get my vote!:cool:
