| GOD FORBID THERE ARE NO MORE MUSKIES. BUT MY QUESTION IS, IF THERE WERE NO MORE MUSKIES TO FISH, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR FISH OF CHOISE BE TO FISH FOR.
MINE WOULD BE THE ALMIGHTY TOOTHY ONES COUSIN. THE NORTHERN PIKE. IT GETS PRETTY BIG, FIGHTS ALMOST AS HARD, JUST AS SLIMY, BUT NOT AS PRETTY.
HAPPY HUNTING

|
| I would have to go for Rockbass. Pound for pound they are one of the toughest fish in the water! I've heard of people losing toes and fingers because of these vicious fish. |
|
| |
|
| Chinnook Salmon |
|
| |
|
| Smallmouth bass. |
|
| |
|
| I guess I would go back full time to Bass. Still a lot of tourneys for them and that is part of what I do.

| Bass. Can't help it .It's in the blood[;)] |
|
| |
|
| I would give up fishing for ever.

Later

|
| I'm with ya, Beav - pound for pound, nothing fights like a bronzeback. m |
|
| |
|
| No question, smallies on light tackle!
|
|
| |
|
| Man after a couple of years of crying and sobing I will go back to fish for bass, our river is full or 4 and 5 pounders both small and large mouths. |
|
| |
|
| That would be walleyes. Once musky closes I turn my full attention to the hard water. Its nice being the only walleye guide on pewaukee in the winter. The ice shanty is a welcome relief from the boat and the eliments that go with late fall fishing. There is no place like my modern day ice shanty and the comforts that go with it. Fresh fish,fresh venison,card games,football,good friends and spirits are all part of the winter pleasures on pewaukee lake. Also the fishing is great. First ice rocks. |

|
| I'd catch rocks, trees and logs. Come to think of it, nothing much would change for me....[:((] |
|
| |
|
| I'd do what I still do though not as much now due to family commitments....chase bluefish, rockfish,king mackerel etc....I'd continue to surf/skateboard also but me knees/back went on a permanent vacation so the cowabunga lifestyle is history![:sun:]
**And as W.D. so eloquently said...plenty of rocks, trees, stumps, bushes, shrubs, others, etc...... |
|
| |
|
| I would fish for whatever else there is depending on the time of year and what's biting. Like one of Gillespies guides says, take what the lake is giving you.
Duck, I am sure glad this is one of those hypercritial questions. |
|
| |
|
| Most deffinately old Bronzback. Hardest fighting fish pound for pound, especially on light tackle. |
|
| |
|
| STRIPERS!!!! Just got back from Lake Cumberland last week, and you have no idea how hard these fish fight until you hook one. I lost one that the guide said was well over thirty pounds, and I couldn't even turn its head. This was the first time I ever went, but I will definitely be going again. My buddy and I landed eight in two days, and lost more than that!!

| Hee hee heee Chad...like them rockfish eh??? I agree...+ if you get the chance set the hook on the "sea run" variety...even more of a rush![:sun:] |
|
| |
|
| Id probabbly sucker fish,,not being able to tangle with skis anymore would make me ornery and Id most likely start alot of fights in bars,,with my specialty being "the sucker punch" |
|
| |
|
| Pike and smallies for fun, which I fish once in a while anyway, especially with kids/guests in the boat. Walleye and perch for food. I'm kinda surprised more regulars didn't mention (trophy) pike. How come? |
|
| |
|
| Alaskan silvers already pull me away from the mukies a few weeks a year. Once you watch one go 10yds out of its way to smash your flash fly, you'll understand.[;)] |
|
| |
|
| Gosh, this question will give me nightmares![:0]
Smallies or salmon.

| Chad:
Now you know why I spend two months on Cumberland in the winter. Stripers are a blast, went out for three hours after the rain finely quite, and got four, and lost another, had two doubles.
However, I think that smallies in the spring are rated as lightly ahead of spripers, but they are a very close second.

| In my area it's gota be smalljaws. They've always got a chip on their shoulders and they never quit fighting. In rebel country, I'd second the vote for stripers, all fight, but sometimes difficult to locate. |
|
| |
|
| I would do the remote fly in trips for giant pike. There long, green,get big and have teeth, and I could use some of the same baits. Call it second class musky fishing. Otherwise I would like to try for stripers. I Have never fished for them but they get big and if they are moving in the spring you get a bunch of them, or so I have read.
Otherwise, if money wasn't an object, I would move to florida and fish for the ultimate toothy critter. Sharks! They're long,get big,and have teeth. What more could you ask for from a fish? LOL! [:p] They will also follow a bait too. |
