Both really hard to beat. I also like Channel cat and Blue cat, which are game fish.

I like catching big fish on ultra light tackle. Give me a 8lb fish caught on a 3wt fly rod with 3 lb line in a stream or small river. The fish has the advantage. Even a 14" Rainbow is a challenge. I don't fish for food....I fish for fun. If a fish breaks off it is just a long distance release.

I've caught a number of bigger salmon offshore on heavy tackle, but my most exciting catch ever was a 26" Steelhead on an 8' flyrod and 304 Garcia reel with 6# line and a flat fish in the back eddy of a fast-moving river. Took 45 minutes to net her.
 
@ stain...I have had mites twice both times from gifted clones.

My favorite kind of fishing. I had a Shakespeare ultralite pole that was about as big as a cat's whisker at the end, and a Garcia Mitchell open bale reel. Put some four pound test on it and hook into a ten pound carp. You'd play 'em for what seemed like hours. Lots of fun when your a bored kid with a good glow going.
 
Surf fishing was my passion after moving near the ocean. Lived within a 2min bike ride of the beach.. I'd load up
and ride down with a pole and a few setups if I broke off.. The cool part was, ya never knew what you were gonna
hook up with. I've caught a lot of sharks, biggest was a hammerhead about 7ft..

I miss fishing, unable to walk in that soft sand anymore with my bad hips.. Dr's making me lose 65lbs to qualify for
surgery.. yeah. fatass Cartman right... lol. I've lost 47lbs thus far and it's difficult when walking is not an option. lol.

I still have 2 lures I designed back in Vegas for 30lb striped bass and caught them like crazy....
