| BE CAREFUL WHEN GETTING THEM OFF THE HOOK BECAUSE THEY DO BITE. I ALSO LOVE SMALLMOUTHS, NOT ON LIGHT TACKLE. I LIKE TO USE A MORE SUBSTANTIAL SETUP. GUYS, MAKE SURE YOU RELEASE PINK SNAPPER AND SMALLMOUTHS DURING SPAWNING SEASON BECAUSE IT IS WAY WAY BAD FOR THE ENVIROMENT. TIGHTLINES EVERYONE.

TIGHTLINES EVERYONE.True, but if they smell like fish it's better not to target them. I have seen, but never experienced the fight some can and will put up. I have seen some so vicious that they will strip all your tackle among other things, leaving you with just your rod in your hand.

| Not sure what the best fighting fish pound for pound would be.....the best fight I've had has always been bull reds on 10lb line, and sharks on 15 I think my vote would go to a bluegill....pound for pound!

I say ROCK SALMON, Almaco Jack, or better known as Turbo Jack! Caught one in the forties once, will never forget it, thought it was a shark in the 2 hundreds...

| My personal favorite is a bluegill, 2# line, 4' light action rod. Back home when they spawn and you pull them "big" bulls off the beds....man oh man! One after another and the fight is on, I don't really have a saltwater comparison, looking forward to gaining the experience though!

I still will go with the pink snapper. Sometimes they will leave you on the bank with no boat, no tackle and no rod. Other times you will have sucess. BUT,sucess depends on how much you spend on bait.

| Hey guys, I just checked the FWC website, and I can't find any mention of this "pink snapper" ya'll are talking about. Whats the daily bag, and does it affect the aggregate bag limit for snapper? Thanks for the info.

Check Sammy's website. There's no bag or size limit, but I'd throw anything over 135 back unless I'm drunk.

Pound for Pound would have to be a Swordfish. A 100# sword will put up a fight that a AJ could only dream of. I will say that AJ's or any jack for that matter comes in second place but you get a hot Swordfish on the line and you would be amazed at they they can do! The challenge is that no two swordfish are the same either. If you got a Jack, you know you got a jack. You know what it's going to do... With a Swordfish, you never have a clue! They might act like they are a minnow and then when you get them to the surface, they go crazy. They might pull hard and then run at the boat and you gotta reel like crazy to keep the line tight. You may not even know you are hooked up until you see your lights jumping in front of the boat.
Pound for pound I would have to rate them as follows:
Swordfish
AJ's and other Jacks
Yellowfins
Kings and Hooters (they make it seem easy until they see the boat)
Big triggers
Grouper (although they give up the fight way too soon...)

| Swordfish Non-jumping Tarpon in deep water Bluefin Tuna Pink Snapper(totally unpredickable) Non-jumping or Gray hounding Blue Marlin Jack Crevalle AJ Hardtail(Blue Runner type) Choafer Bonehead(bonita) I think you could tie a 2# bonita tail to tail with a 15# fresh water bass and the bonita would drown the bass pulling him backward. No doubt in my mind!

Thanks for the info.As far as bag limit, state and federal law limits it at one but many anglers like to play with fire and when caught with more than one pay a VERY hefty fine that usually includes a monthly fine for the next 20 years, forfiture (sp?) of boat, all tackle, house, car and dignity.
