Hardest fighting fish..pound for pound
« on: January 22, 2008, 08:17:18 PM »
I was recently having a friendly argument with one of the forum members about the hardest fighting fish Pound for pound...It was between a sturgeon or a steelhead. Ovbiously sturgeon fight harder because they weigh way more..but  pound for pound what is the hardest fighter?

Are we talking about hardest fighting fish in BC freshwater??

Because if we include fish from all around the world and including saltwater species, apparently our prized fish would pale in comparison.  Hopefully I will be able to find out first hand come November!!!

Nothing in freshwater even comes close to the fish I caught in Mexico. 4lb Skipjack Tuna take you into backing in less than 5 seconds. They'd tow 20lb springs backwards.

 not that i have extensive steelhead experience or anything but a fresh squamish chum fight harder pound for pound than any local fish I have caught. My avatar is of a 42lb. spring I got and Id say the 20 lb. chum I have gotten on the squish out battled it for sure. cool because they are often quite acrobatic like a steely as well. lost many flies trying to hang on until they stop running.

an excited 1000lb black marlin, or a monster blue fin tuna. I couldn't believe how hard my marlin pulled and it was only 200lbs, but i was using small light gear so it made it even more fun

I think Sturgeon put up the best fight, not just because of their size though, a few years ago I had a Sturgeon on that couldn't have weighed more than thirty pounds, that fish pulled so hard I couldn't believe how small it was when it got to the boat !! there is no way any Salmon or Steelhead could pull that hard at that weight !!
