What is your favorite Fish?

Walleye
Pike
Musky
Bass
Big Catfish and large Carp - when I'm looking to relax and have a battle.
Variety is the spice of life gentleman.

Man I have to ask, because as I watch OLN and ESPN2 and all the fishing
shows, bass fishing is low on the food chain for getting air time any
more.
I mean only a couple of years ago you could blop your butt in front of the
TV and watch bass fishing shows all day if you wanted.

There was, In-Fisherman, Hank Parker, Orlando Wilson, Bill Dance, Fish
Fishburn, Larry Nixon, Jimmy Houston, Denny Brauer, Shaw Grisby,
Bassmaster
Tour, Roland Martin, Doug Hannon, FLW Tour, to mention a few.

Some are still on, but not back-to-back like it use-to-be. I loved my
Sunday evenings watching all my favorite shows. It simply topped off my
weekend and better prepared me for another long work week.

Now you get one bass show, then a salt water fishing show, followed by one
or two trout shows, then a hunting show, followed by a gun show, then
maybe
another bass show, and the tale goes on and on.

So what would you rather watch, bass, bass, and more bass, or all these
other fishing shows?

We really need to all pull together and start a Cable Bass Fishing Network
channel that is on 24/7/365 like the Golf channel. Hell, we have the
talent
here, and I know I could sell the show to the sponsors and investors.

Part of me is kidding and part of me is dead serious.

So bass is bottom on your "Love to For" fish - what are we going to do with
you?

I am just the opposite. I fish for bass 99% of the time. However, if I hook
into a nice walleye, salmon, trout, steelhead, pike, muskie, channel cat, or
even a big'o'carp I can enjoy the ride it takes me on.

Most of the Bass tactics work on Walleyes also - that's what the Linder's
discovered a long time ago - so I follow ROFB to make me a better fisherman
in general. I spent the first 16 years of my life fishing the Little Bay de
Noc every summer for two months - Walleye, Pike, Musky, Perch, Whitefish
were the targets. This was in the 50's and early 60's.

I just like Fishing in general with the exception of Hard Water Fishing. I
have been at it over 50 years and just cannot pick one favorite, I like them
all. Why limit oneself to one species. A general all around education in
fishing suites me well. I find that most tactics that will work one species
will work on another. So when fishing gets tough maybe trying this or that
lure, bait, or presentation will work for the targeted species that day. I
have had days when a Walleye double hook worm harness spinner rig up three
feet off the bottom was catching Bass. Go figure.

My favorite would have to be the elusive smallmouth. Why? Well, because I
can catch Percy Priest's largemouth and spotted bass *most* of the time, but
the smallies that I've seen come from there excite me, and I've only run
across a few of them in my fishing time.

I don't get too excited about any of the other non-bass species, but do
enjoy the occasional accidental catfish or stripe that happens to come my
way.

Sorry, but theres only so much bass fishing I can take. I enjoy fishing for
largemouth, smallmouth, trout, vrappie, sunfish, catfish, pickerel, musky, and
occasionally even carp and suckers. So I like to watch fishing shows that
target a multitude of species. But being a freshwater guy, some the Sal****er
programs dont interest me much - especially the big game fishing or Marlin,
etc.
Im also an avid hunter, and I enjoy alot of the hunting/shooting shows
also, especially Ducks Unlimited.
Variety is the spice of life.

Bass fishing is fun, but I enjoy most types of fishing. I would have to say
King Salmon fishing as they begin their spawn are the most fun for me. Then
comes trout, walleye/saugeye, crappie, bluegill, and then bass. Catching
anything is always fun! For me, it probably has more to do with what kind
of fish I like to eat.
