Mike,
Got to be the wipers baby. They will always keep the heart racing and the pole doubled over!

If I could actually CATCH a fish, my choice pound for pound would be a wiper as well.

Bravo! [

I WOULD ALSO HAVE TO SAY WIPER.

For salt water I would have to give the abacore the nod (maybe for all fish pound for pound) they can kick your butt for a 20-25 lb fish, In freshwater , those pelican lake gills on a fly rod have to be up there for the small size, have'nt caught a wiper, but I was going to cast a vote for lake powell stripers ( when their healthy) and for trought I would give the blue ribon to tiger trout.
Just my 2 cents worth

Hey how's things going? I have got to say that the Willard Bay Wipers have got to be the Best fighting fish Pound for Pound. Hook on to one in a Boil and hang on.

freshwater- willard wipers

The good 'ol CARP baby!!!!!!!!!! They may not fight worth a darn, but you try reeling in a 25 lber from the Gorge!!! If feels like a 35 foot Christmas tree you just dragged off the bottom. HAHAHAHA Just kidding anyhow, I am going to have to say the Wiper also, but not from Willard Bay, but from John Martin Res. in South Eastern Colorado.

River Stripped Bass in freswater and Bonita in saltwater

I'm sticking with the Mako Shark. You have to catch one to understand where I'm coming from.[cool]
[signature]
smallmouth bass, all the way.
[signature]
Wild Madison River Rainbows.Awesome on a 6WT flyrod trying to keep them out of the main current while they're strippin line and leaping all the way.

Pound for pound it has to be SMALL MOUTH....

I'm divided between the smallie and the wiper. Both put up on heck of a tussle, and are a riot to catch!
