| Smallmouth for sure. Especially in small rivers, and even more especially on topwater. Slayed them the other day on a Pop-R in a river that I can almost cast across. Can't beat it.
Sturgeon are fun too, but I don't fish for them, of course  |

Something about looking at your line counter as the numbers blurr while counting higher and higher.Havent ever had a line counter on the high side of 450 with any muskie ive ever hooked into.

Location: Hudson, WI | Just got back from our family Hayward trip and had temps between 78-82 on the surface. Fished muskies in the early morning on two of the days, but the rest of the trip was spent with the fam slip-bobbering the weed lines. Caught 100 plus eyes in three days, plus a bunch of bonus smallies and big perch. It was an absolute blast. It had been a long time coming to just kick back, drink a beer, and spank the eyes. Might just be the Croix and my area lakes, but this year has been the absolute best walleye year I have ever had. |

| Salmon is the summer. Lakers in the spring before the season opens. Easy call. |

Location: New Berlin,Wisconsin,53151 | It has to be salmon if your near the big pond. Nothing like a triple at 9:30pm with the full moon and a view of Summerfest and the skyline in the West.

Location: Racine, Wi | Chrome here too. Love night fishing big kings (and coho, steel, and lakers apparently this year). Lakes usually calm, and no one out there. Usually coming off the water right before everyone else launches. |

| Tough question. It's hard to beat a largemouth on a Spro frog in the pads. It's fun fishing for smallmouth, too. Don't have any pike locally, but they're fun to catch on trips. Got into crappies and panfish this Spring, but haven't put much effort into it recently. I really want to catch a walleye. Never targeted them and they aren't very thick in my area, but I'd love to catch one. |

| My second favorite thing to fish for would have to be river smallmouth, especially on a topwater. Looks like you guys have been catching some good fish, sadly down south with the sustained water temps in the 87-92 degree range the bass have been extremly difficult to catch this summer. |

Location: SE Wisc and Vilas County | i would have to say spring steelhead on the drift rod in the spring. then if i was fishing inland it would be the smallmouth hands down. |

Location: Northern Wisconsin | Usually river smallies from my kayak or wading. But lately, due to low/warm water in Northern Illinois I am leaving everything alone, except largemouth and catfish. |
