The spooted fights the hardest they are considered ghost fish nobody has been able to successfully land a spooted bass because they fight so hard

I meant to type spotted, i know it sounds like i meant to say spooted.
bmlum415 reply :
As far as hardest fighting IMO it would be the smallmouth bass followed by spotted bass then largemouth. As for the elusive spooted bass they fight so hard that they will always break your line.

As far as those spooted bass go, I once held the potential IGFA World Record in my hand. I had, like many others, hooked into this one and it broke me off. And like so many other bass, when it was thrashing around to get my broken off hook out of its mouth, it jumped into my boat. Not knowing the difference at the time, I foolishly released it back into the water without a picture or an official weight. But I am sure it was the IGFA World Record!!!!

The Spooted Bass once held a hook in it's mouth...just to see what it felt like.

I would say smallies fight hardest pound for pound, but I recently had an encounter with a spooted that basically defied everything I ever learned...

You don't get it... but you sure can have fun with a boatload of them.
SirSnookalot reply :
Forget about striper, I'll take a permit over anything swimming, very hard to catch using artificial lures
(live crabs are best), fight is something pretty special with long runs, they don't give up.
Fish Chris reply :
A boatload of strippers ? How cool would that be ? Geeez, you'd have to be like Chuck Norris LOL

bigbill reply :
Pound for pound it's the river fish that fight the hardest. After all there swimming 24/7 with no break. To me they hit the hardest too. They even tail walk too.
On the small ponds and lakes it's the smallest for sure with there lightening fast strikes.
But the bigger gals being LMB will give my lure a tour of a small pond before I can land them. It's usually a slow dragged out fight
My best fights and battles has been with the larger 25" to 30" chain pickerel. It makes me want to go northern pike and Muskie fishing.

Har! It's a good thing I wasn't drinking coffee or it would've been all over the screen. I'd love to take on a boat load of strippers.

My biggest was in the neighborhood of about 20-22'' and oh man did it put up a fight. If that's how a pickerel fights, I can only imagine battling a muskie.
SirSnookalot reply :
Some of the better fighting fish are the ones with a flatter profile, especially if caught in current. Fish like bluegill in freshwater and a permit in saltwater.

I caught a slab crappie, about a 2.5 lber in strong current and it fought like a 5+ pound bass! Got the best reactions when I pulled it on my boat and it was a crappie hahaha
Jay Ell Gee reply :
I read an article a while back in our Sunday paper's sportsman section about the local DNR doing shock studies.
The DNR shocked up a large spooted bass which proceeded to ticket them, revoked their fishing licenses (permanently), and even seized their boat for shocking without a spooted bass tag. They claimed to know nothing about the fabled spooted bass, but were told that ignorance is no excuse.
Serves them right.
Jay Ell Gee reply :
But seriously.
Around here, we don't have smallmouth. Our little current dwelling spotted bass are quite tenacious.
Honestly, after beginning to target redfish in the marsh, I was beginning to lose my appreciation of the bulldogging of a largemouth bass. I did manage to catch my PB largemouth of 6.54 lbs Tuesday, though. She gave me some faith in the fighting ability of a bass!
bigbill reply :
The LMB I the 4 to 6 pound range give me the best fights. I still say the river bass are awesome fighters and much stronger.
I have places with northern pike all around me it's time to target them. I purchased all the pike and Musky lures already.
Brian Needham reply :
I was going to say Spots but then realized most of the mods are smallie guys....... and I don't want to get warning points, so I will not be joining this conversation.
00 mod reply :
Not me. I like going after those spooted bass.

Smallmouth Hunter reply :
Largemouth hit with such vigour and power! It's addicting and I love it! Nothing more satisfying then a good hard hit from a largemouth whether it be on a crank or top water..
WRB reply :
A boat load of Spooters doing pole dances may out do stripping bass, pound for pound.

Kevin22 reply :
I'm a little confused. So the strippers spooted on a bass boat? 
Mike L reply :
I don't want to take this in another ditection, but If we're gonna add other species...
I had Tarpon allmost rip my arms out of the socket's!!
But I'd still rather hook up a 10# LM.
