Looking for a challenge? Try catching one of these fish that are ready to battle.
Smallmouth bass - this aggressive, scrappy-fighting, aerial
acrobat
is the hardest fighting
freshwater fish (pound per pound); found in free-flowing sections of streams and rivers, many anglers need to travel only a short
distance for a chance to fish for this fierce fighter.
Bluegill – ounce to ounce, these
quick to bite, slab-sided sunfish are the strongest fighters; they may be
small, but they are mighty; they often turn sidewise when you hook them so you
are pulling them in with their greatest surface area trying to come sideways
through the water.
Flathead Catfish – these "big-water"
fish grow to enormous size and put up a powerful fight; you are usually
fighting the fish along with the current in a river.
Hybrid striped
bass (wiper) –a cross between a female striped bass and male white bass, they can
attain weights over twenty pounds; these strong swimmers are explosive fighters
when hooked.
White bass - these fast
growing predators are incredible fighters; they are aggressive strong swimmers abundant
throughout the Mississippi River and in the lower reaches of its main tributary
streams.
Common Carp – these large
minnows often weigh up to 50 pounds or more and put up a long, strong fight
when hooked; you are usually fighting the fish along with the current
