Well said, Jimmy. I'm not a Bass Fisherman myself (not necessarily
from choice but more lack of opportunity.) I have caught a few
bass, perch and Walleye on my fly rod, and enjoyed every catch.
Pound for pound there is no trout that fights harder than a bass.
Tom,
I would like to argue that last statement. The pound for pound
one. I think pound for pound (P4P), a bluegill or other panfish will
fight you harder than a bass will - small or largemouth. I won't
argue that average catch wise, you'll get a better fight out of a
bass, since they tend to come bigger than most 'gill or other
pans. Then again, my favorite target is during the winter in PA's
Steelhead alley. 18" + 'trout' in small streams and nowhere to
go. THAT'S a fight!!! My spring and summer target this coming year
will be 'gills on the fly - for both me and my 8 yr old daughter.
