I still have a hard time thinking of folks looking for Sunfish to catch. Up
here we try to keep them off our lines... in some places there are just too
many!.
5 pounds is big... but I'd rather hook a 5 pound trout, salmon, bass (yeah
yeah.. I know .. Large mouth is a giant sunfish), or even bigger striper.

Given odds in a fight between a five-pound bluegill and a five-pound
trout/salmon/bass, my money's on the 'gill every time. Pound for pound,
they've got to be the best fighting fish around.

Freshwater species maybe, but not if you include sal****er bullies

....ever catch 5+ lb. trevally (jack crevalle) on a flyrod?
They are, essentially, a salt water bluegill on steroids.

I realize how hard Gills fight. They get that flat body sideways and go for
a run. They are such a pain to handle and not very edible to my thinking.

As far as best fish fight I have had so far.... flyrod - or spincasting is a
good sized Bluefish.

When I can afford to put together a good SW rod/reel combo for myself I will
head out to hook a blue on a flyrod!!

I can't wait. Last year I reeled in a whopper (34 inch Bluefish) I didnt get
to weigh him in on 12lb test light spincasting rod/reel.
It took almost 25 minutes to get him up to the boat!
Totally tangled all the line he kept on stripping out on so many long runs.
I LOVED IT!

As far as hard fighting FRESHWATER FISH Bluegill/Bream are at the top of the
heap.
DO some research and you will find a HUGE fellowship of fishermen./women
that fish for bluegill. Some
almost exclusivly. Also...alot of people think that bluegill
are the best tasting fresh water fish. {:O)
