My neighbor came over last night and we set on the porch and watch the water rise. We had a conversation about the fish that was most fun to catch. To me the fish that I enjoy trying to catch most is Permit via Flyrod. My neighbor claimed that Blue Marlin were far more sporting (although he has never tried to catch a shallow water Permit with a Flyrod). I have had more shots than I care to tell, and I have a total of 5 actually caught. Granted the type of fishing my neighbor does vs what I do is very different in nature, but it really made me think, what is the most sporting fish to try to catch??? Curious to anyone's thoughts????

| any fish that triples the line size i.e. a bull red over 24lbs on 8lb test or a 60lb king or amberjack on 20 spinning tackle my favorite is a fish that will run well enough that im scared ill get spooled, but i cant lock down on him because my line is too light... thats when im having a good time although i havent done much of it (none in salt water, only a few times in fresh) fly fishing seems to be the most "sporting" id love to wrestle with a strong saltwater fish one day on flytackle garbo, check your pms.

Good question, I really think it is subjective. I personally enjoy light tackle and I would have to say Jack Crevalle are an absolute blast on light tackle. But if you are talking bigger game I would say wahoo really tickled my fancy. Never caught bill fish so can't comment on that. I really think it is subjective though.

| That is a pretty good question, I don't have any experience with the offshore species. So I would have to say sharks on light tackle from shore.....and by light I mean 15lb line. I love catching a 4-5 foot blacktip on 15lb. It's such a great fight! People always look at me funny when I'm tying on a 100lb steel leader and using 15lb line.....but dang it it's fun! Bull reds on 10lb test, negotiating bridge pilings is a close second! I'm looking forward to having a chance at them hoos, dolphin, and tuna one day!!! It's just not in the budget at this point
