RE: The Tiger trout photo's.
I never heard of them before this forum.
What a cool looking fish too.
Great color and spot's, The Char's skin on a Trout's body.
On the defination of 'fighting fish' I'd like to say the spectacular part of how you rate a fish is the Visual.
So a Bass or Silver Salmon would rate much higher than say a Shark or a King Salmon.
Because the Bass and Silvers jump and run on the surface. You can see it and you have to be quick to deal with it.
Whereas a Shark is much like pulling up the Anchor. Kings can be that way sometimes, but the Grandaddy of all the pulling fish has to be the Halibut.
However....you'd never accuse a Halibut of being a Fighting fish.
It's more like hooking onto the back bumper of a Pickup truck, and dragging it backwards.
And to make another analogy for those who drafted the Bass or something smaller......you can say the same thing about catching a Goldfish, as you can about Bass.
You just have to use a lighter Rod n' line.
So I'm sticking with the Silver Salmon for my best all around fighting fish.
Brute power, spectacular showmanship, and energy to burn!
