Pound for pound, Bluegill on light tackle, but the most sought after on
medium tackle, would be the smallmouth, caught about anywhere.
If you really want some fun, and want to catch something that pulls like a
P.O.d bull, go carp fishing in a river system near you with corn. sportfish
though, it truly is hard to beat a Smallie.

Just my opinion,

Doug
