Favorite thing to fish for and why

[wiper_junkie]

When I first started fishing in Utah I loved fishing the smallmouth and wipers. However, in the last three years I've really gotten into fishing for tiger muskies. They are very challenging to fish for, but can be so worth it. There's nothing like having a 40"+ fish come out of nowhere and crush your lure a few feet from the boat! The funny thing is that in the process of fishing for muskies, I've caught the biggest smallies and largemouth that I've ever caught. You'd be surprised at the size of lure those things will hit! I still like to fish for the wipers too, but don't troll for them anymore. Once they start to boil though.... game on! In the spring and fall I enjoy throwing tubes, and minnow baits for the trout as well. I don't keep any fish, everything goes back, so its not about table fare for me.
All in all, I think that the DNR has done a great job of providing us with plenty of fishing options in this state, so my hats off to them [] Fred K.
